It's nothing to do with democracy. It's about unjustified stubbornness over a poor design choice that will making upgrading implausible for a great deal of users.
Look, nobody really cares that the window decorations are on the left. I have used X programs on a mac, and I have never closed the window instead of picking the "file" menu. This may happen once a year, about as often as a Windows user hits Alt-F4 instead of Alt-F2.

... you're trolling, right? All of the ubuntu users I know disagree with these supposedly "superior" design decisions mac users cite. Guess what, a lot of people disagree. Sure, the people doing the work can do whatever they want and the linux crowd can go back to using other distros. Doesn't make it any less sad that they don't seem to care if or who uses their product (in the end they will).
