So the Mac App Store is highly convenient, yet you always choose to buy outside the App Store when possible?

That's not the greatest endorsement ever.

That's my preference. You didn't understand what the target market is. I tried to explain it to you but obviously didn't understand it.

There's no such target market as "the average user". That's usually a condescending fiction used by techies. The line of thought is something like:

"Of course I do interesting stuff on my computer, but the average person doesn't. All they need is X."

Importantly, X is never defined by asking actual users, but is simply a distillation of prejudice about the needs of "the common people".
