I don't even understand why anyone would have strong feelings about

If your needs aren't very demanding, I can understand that. However, if
you'd just spent $20,000 on a flash colour laser printer that collates,
cuts and binds, you'd be pretty distressed to discover you can't
configure those capabilities in your Gnome print dialogue. However, KDE
exposes the capabilities described in the PPD so you'd be able to
control those features.
I still don't see any rationale for having "strong feelings" about it.
In Gnome, I can't even set the printer resolution.
So, one uses what one prefers. I still don't see any reason to
have strong feelings over what interface one prefers. Use
what you like, and let it go at that.
But what I saw Linus Torvalds post looked like a troll at best,
and might be considered a flame, posted to the GNOME user list,
telling them they all ought to be using KDE instead.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
