I was and am explaining to you why I down voted your comment. You asked someone who made a very subjective claim about their personal taste to justify their decision and part of your reasoning that they shouldn't have that subjective opinion was that there's a power differential between Linux and Microsoft. Just because that is true doesn't invalidate their opinion about what is annoying to them. It's like saying "how can you think red is the best color when it's the color of blood?" It doesn't matter.
