Windows 10 was hated too when it came out. And 11 improves the UI by a lot, this is where they fix the control panel.

I think it's simply that these activities are more enjoyable with less weight. Hewhen hiking it matters a lot, carrying heavy load on your back sucks. In cycling people definitely obsess a bit too much because most people aren't competing, but climbing is definitely easier on a lightweight bike. And people are apparently willing to spend a lot of money on this stuff, so companies gladly make carbon everything to save 5% weight at 500% the price.

Back in the 2000s, browsers were really bad at downloading big things over slow connections since they couldn't resume, a brief disconnect could destroy hours of progress. But I don't think you need this anymore.

Right, but you could do the same with RPM. Not everyone is aware of this, but installing a package executes scripts with root access over your system.
