The world very clearly doesn’t revolve around what HN users “love”.

I think the western world very much revolves around:

* The internet

* Linux servers

* Automation

I get your point, but it falls on deaf ears to me since most people don’t feel the benefits until some passionate nerd makes something that scratches an itch.

For a practical example: peer-to-peer sharing like Airdrop is much easier to implement in a world with ipv6.
