A preference for digital media and requiring someone to edit a file then recompile the project are two different things entirely. I don’t care for star wars and wouldn’t care what images they had from those movies, but even though I’m a dev and absolutely could build the source if needed. I’m quite likely not going to care enough to do that. A user that has never messed with source code is likely not going to be comfortable doing all that.
You gotta remember that your average user isn’t a dev. They aren’t someone who’s used to modifying configs to set something up. They’re more like your grandmother who isn’t even comfortable looking into the settings app on their phone.
To remain polite, I’ll note that this subject has nothing to do with “your average user” or anything else connected to selling something useless to somebody who doesn’t care. All this grandma and average user and other talk is absolutely out of place about tools never intended to be sold on a market or be used by everyone. You are not required to use suckless tools in the first place.
That keeps out 90% of the population. Do not underestimate how complex that is to people who aren’t tech-savvy and who are used to “it just works”.
Something having an X-Wing pic keeps out a lot of people too, cause not everyone likes Star Wars. What’s your point?
