I have no doubt you have your reasons to use this forum, otherwise you wouldn't use it. Mine was more of a critic.

You criticized the point of doing an activity that you find not useful, but only through your eyes. Someone can easily do the same about the activity "checking the hp museum forum".

Example:
"JWD why do you check a calculator forum?".
"because <insert answer>".
"I find it a waste of time, just buy a casio 25$ calculator and that's it. For the rest there is wolfram alpha or smartphones".
"Well I don't agree because <insert argument>".
"Nah, I am pretty sure most people would agree with me (i), dismissed".

Now you provided an answer why you use this forum, couldn't you extend that to anything anyone does? (that is not harmful(ii) for others) Like "why does one do X? Because X is interesting for that person". In this particular case porting an OS from a platform to another is quite a challenge.

(i) And they would. Let's not be delusional here, the majority of the population sees high end calculators as pointless. All the more the discussion about them.
(ii) for some values of harmful.
