Insane behaviour. Much as I hate Windows, for a "generous offer" I'd make it work.
if you had 2 or more options on the table, one that forces you to go to work in a Tuxedo and one that doesn't, would you still claim it's insane to turn down the Tuxedo offer?
The problem is that the second option also requires you to go to work in a tuxedo.
Only a small niche of companies allow you to not work in a tuxedo.
So complaining about tuxedos at a job (in this universe) is just dumb.
I get the point you are trying to make but this is just a strawman here... you are changing the parameters of the case and attacking your own invention.
I disagree, it is not a small niche. It certainly is not the majority but it is not that small for the scenario in this, most likely fake, email. Anecdotally I can add I have been working (also a programmer) on Linux for the past 18 years and none of the companies I worked for supported it, they just did not care if I used it as my base OS, everything they cared about is under their control so as long as I could comply to those, they were fine with it
