For some, reboots are a necessary part of feeling like they are 
interacting with the computer in a way that taxes the computers ability, 
thus providing a "feel good" by getting the darn thing to turn back on 
again, so Microsoft provides a service.

For some in the Mac world, it is the feeling of superiority that makes 
them feel good, even if the application they are using works better on 
other platforms, so Apple provides a service.

And yet for others, watching a program spew out compilation notices and 
getting the darn program to compile (and work) does exactly the same 
thing, thus Gentoo provides a service.

For some on this list, reading your rants of superiority may provide 
entertainment as they contemplate the inferiority complex that might 
drive you to do so, thus, Matusiak provides a service.

Not all ignorance is bad, and nethier are those who posess some - even you!
