It may be a poor reason for anyone used to thinking causes, effects and objective effectiveness.

But in the end humans are social animals. Thus peer approval, even if we don't know them by name etc, carry mental weight.

And we evolve! :) Eg., it's been acceptable for some time to operate an iPad with an external keyboard at the local hipster coffee shops. I'd argue that anyone using a foot pedal at all is an early adopter - who knows what Starbucks' digital denizens will be using in a couple years? But we will arrive there faster if some of us eschew the lowest common denominator, even if we look funny doing so and have to haul around a peripheral or two or three.

Having an Apple rep demo it on stage at the next WWDC may help spur adoption...
