Not trivial. Not easy. Not freedom of choice.
There is no such thing as freedom of choice. I mean... there is still one choice, you can CHOOSE to develop your own distro acording to your own tastes and system design vision.
If you are solipsistic and think that everyone's job is to keep you happy, then it's not other people (devs) fault, it's yours. You have decided not to move on, you have decided that everything that gets consensus is too mainstream and your indignation is based in the fact that no one asked you before changing it.
You're actually trying to force everyone else to stay still until YOU can assimilate that technology is always changing. Technology has forced upon us a plethora of other things, be it social media, new standards, languages and technologies. Have you ever considered that nobody asked you before coming up with HTML5?
Perhaps the reason of this is that you are not as important as you think you are, and should eat your own ego and assimilate that society won't always choose things that you like.
