Exactly!

 

This isn't Reddit or a thread even created by some novice asking for a DAW version of My Little Pony. It's multiple pages of Reaper users trying to explain why their DAW is <whatever to them>. Most coming across as waterboys like the commenter who is so impressed with themself about the fact they finally learned a single DAW. It's not any heated argument because dealing with someone making those sorts of comments barely qualifies itself as lightwork. I see no confusion about the matter at all.

If someone cannot figure out what is meant by the words "similarity", "open-source", "customizable"; maybe Reaper is not the DAW for them. That's almost as impressive as letting your DAW turn you into an unpaid hobbyist programmer.

To the DAW agnostic, this "argument" as you call it, is about as exciting as watching a OpenOffice Libre vs. MS Excel brawl develop between some accountants.
