Yeah, this is always the response. Usability can be assessed objectively, so you just have low standards.

I have to agree that I don't find plugins necessary, and I'm not sure why you're so down on people using a solid backlinking note taker. I don't think I have low standards, I think Roam and Logseq aren't that great and Obsidian is all I need.
A more charitable interpretation would be that that have different needs. My keyboard costs more than my computer, but most people probably spend $15-$50 on a keyboard. Even my mouse is well outside that range. Do I have high standards or do I have tendonitis?
Software usability, in this context, is measured objectively, there is no interpretation. This is separate from a specific user's preferences, the ergonomics of their hardware, etc.. As for your high standards vs tendonitis distinction, I'd say these things are not mutually exclusive, and the comparison is not related to what we're talking about.

What is the objective measure of usability to which you are referring? I'm not aware of any such metric.

The connection is that I have different needs in HIDs, just like some people have different needs in Obsidian. There are great ergonomic keyboards available for $50. I just can't use them.
Generally I buy the cheapest peripherals available. My standards are not all that high. Several of them have bugs I've learned to work around.
