Some people just take whatever Redmond or Cupertino (or London, for that matter) shove at them and adapt. What Lisi referred to as the "mavericks" will go to longer lengths to maintain the computing environment that is comfortable for them. As I have said on IRC before, "I'm not going to change my computing paradigm so that some guy in a suit, or some guy in a turtle neck, or some guy who's been to space can make a buck." (Because forcing unity on users puts Canonical in the same category as the others...)
I can't follow you to Canonical with this example, because of the multiplicity of environments available to Ubuntu. You don't _have_ to take Unity, afaict. I avoid Ubuntu like AIDS, but it is largely made of free software. You can change it, you can remove the non-free bits and call it gNewSense.
You can't do those things with Microsoft or Apple.
