Or who despises something, but still carries on using it, anyway. Nor

computer), or any other reason.
In fact FOSS has no way to tell if the passionate advocates of
nonsense like Gnome 3 are actually in the pay of evil corporate
giants who want to see Linux destroyed and are deliberately
inventing the worst possible systems (as long as we are mentioning
things we can't know :-).
That's probably a bit too much of an extreme conspiracy theory, at least
in case of Gnome 3. Let's not confuse bad judgement and malice. If this
has any truth in it:

it seems that almost everyone except RH employees have abandoned the
Gnome 3 ship, and if I am sure of one thing it is that RH definitely
doesn't fall into the category you mention, of an entity that
intentionally wishes to see Linux damaged in any way.
