Hey! I'm going to passionately defend my choice over a really minor difference. I mean do you see how that app does their hamburger menu?! It makes the app utterly unusable!

Maybe I'm exaggerating here but I've heard things pretty close in "chrome vs Firefox" and "signal vs ..." threads. People are really passionate about tiny details. Or at least they think that's that they're passionate about.

Unfortunately I think what they don't realize is that passion often hinders that revolutionary progress you speak of. It just creates entrenched players and monopolies in domains where it should be near trivial to move (browsers are definitely trivial to jump ship)
