I'm not trolling. You think people are immune to stigma just because they work in tech?
Tools are rarely chosen purely on their merits. Look no further than the Black&Decker vs DeWalt thing back in the early aughts. Literally the same tool but with a yellow, "construction-y" motif? Much better reputation for being durable.
People didn't buy Black & Decker because they didn't want to be looked down upon for using pleb-tier tools.
