Only because it's one of those loudly hearalded "features" of FOSS. I often shouted it myself, till one day I sat down to make a list of the "innovations". Now as I said before, building on the efforts of others is GOOD, but unsupported claims of innovation/greatness/features come off as really annoying to non-linux people (in my experience) and this thread was focusing on proselytizing.
