That may well be so, but if they make bad judgement calls about what is or isn't needless cruft, they will learn that the hard way - as they've recently done with things like application-directed window positioning, which after years of insisting that You Don't Need That they're finally having to admit that some people *do* need, because enough people told them to jump in a lake that they had to worry about losing their bid for adoption. But if they'd been less blinkered and dogmatic from the get-go, they might've realized that there are actually some very obvious and common use cases for that, and not caused a protracted argument and hacked off a bunch of potential users for no reason.
