Or perhaps those "whiners" consider themselves responsible employees by being diligent in understanding what "normal and correct" looks like so that they can recognize when something is going south and maybe doing something to avert a crisis before it occurs.

I swear that every time I read about how boot (or other) is so unaesthetic I really have to wonder if people are actually using their system as a tool to do work, or if they're merely playing with them as a novelty.  Not that there's anything wrong such play, but please stop trying polish the appearance at the expense of functionality for those who see them only as tool.
