Because I have a brain and I happen to use it for its primary function
which is thinking.

Now, the first thing a person of an analytical persuasion would ask
is: is the choice for Win/Mac and proprietary software an informed
one?

In a world where people still think that GIMP is a strictly
multiwindow application and there's no color management on Linux, are
you, Paul Holman, owner (?) of www.colourprofiles.com, prepared to
testify that you personally interviewed each of your clients and each
visitor of those said forums, and as the result of that study you
found out that yes indeed -- all of them are informed about their
options on Linux, more or less follow the progress of GIMP and
darktable, but simply don't find them good enough?

A simple 'yes' or 'no' would suffice.
