I know this is bound to get modded to oblivion but, what about customers who want utility based on real engineers and hackers and not magic marketing fluff. My day job is a diesel engine mechanic so im sure as shit not a "benefiter" or a runner or any of that. I dont have any kefir cultures or micro-greens unless somethings turned bad in the fridge.
Example: I own a ramnode VM, and it lets me do 90% of the studying and hacking i like because the people who make it happen are probably really interested in Linux like me. ramnode gives me space to really, really screw up a lot and learn how to recover or learn how to push forward. I get a good back-door to un-screw whatever it was i thought was a good idea (last week it was dd)
I'm not sure I get your point. People creating products specifically for SRE and sysadmins definitely listen to them (or they should)
But not all products are for SRE or sysadmins (I'd venture to say most are not), so why would people listen to SRE and sysadmins specifically if they're not the target of the product ?

why not listen to the sysadmins and the SRE?
