This is the kind of person that makes assumptions about people out of thin air. Just because I'm stating facts that are contrary to your preconceived notions, doesn't mean that I support or "worship" things.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, I'm just stating facts.

Why wouldn't it be? Any country that wants to attract tourists is going to be lenient with them.

Are you asking about my personal opinion or why 15 million people visit it every year?

Personally, I visited many times because my brother studied there for 4 years, and I often transit through Dubai.

But generally, people go there for the numerous tourist attractions and duty free shopping (although, I believe that has been cancelled a couple of years ago).

You can Google it if you don't trust me.

Women in UAE have always been allowed to drive. It was made legal in 2018 in Saudi Arabia, which is a different country.

I had to install Golang and build it myself to make it work with my version of glibc. But in the end the themes aren't rendered properly. In other words, proper Linux experience.

That's exactly how I read it first, too.
