What average users would need to convert is access to sympathetic and patient support... what they get is obtuse gatekeepers. People who on the one hand think that everyone should use Linux but on the other hand insist that using it means that you're hyper intelligent, and by extension requires you to be.
Exactly this, but their argument fails because even hyper intelligent people get shit on by the linux community.
They don't want new adherents, they want people to recognize their decades of reeking basement skillz.
