Good question. Maybe:

1. Windows fanbois upset at the suggestion that Windows is starting to lose the game
2. People in general objecting to the idea that single-digit install numbers is "conquering."
3. Greybeards upset at a trivial misuse of compute power (games) is evidently more influential than truly worthy uses, like interpreting ctrl-alt-shift-n and running some Lisp to indent some text.
4. You've made powerful enemies...

I'm just guessing. I have no idea; I upvoted your comment.

I really thought it had dwindled for good after the failure of the original run of Steam Machines, feels great to be where we're at now

@lig @Sunshine BTW this is true since many years, in fact this was among the reasons that made me switch from winlol
