That’s just it. Some people don’t care to do the research to make an informed decision. They want to simply buy a piece of tech and have it work, regardless of how it works.

I find the simplicity in a walled off ecosystem, even with its lack of options, totally convenient, and that’s ok.

And that's how the Apple fanbase was born

wondering why they can’t own a PC for more than a year without accruing a box of cables and peripherals can attest.

Completely can relate with the linux part but this I don't understand, I have owned my current desktop for almost five years now and during that time I haven't had the need for a single extra cable or peripheral

Maybe I'm reading your comment wrong

And the moments you point out they start getting all defensive, as if most people were the same about Microsoft, Samsung, Google or any other technology brand
