That's just a bold statement without any evidence. Can you back that up somehow?
If anything most people might be indifferent, but among the enthusiasts most prefer scoops.
Sure, if you look through the threads you'll find plenty of people that do...

You also have to ask, how many people can't deal with bars? Probably no one since that is pretty much the standard out there...Personally I don't mind scoops but I don't prefer them.
People are ok with pushing oddball layouts onto people in the same of extensive layout support...even when those keyboards are not out there in quantity...People are ok with pushing their profile choices...but if you had to rank the qualities of keycaps..what would rank first?
For me:
Feel is number 1. I don't know what it is for everyone else but given they go for GMK, Thick PBT, etc. feel is pretty damn important to quite a few users. Nibs/Scoops is feel and an important part of feel and yet many are quick to discard that for other users because they'd rather get more other keys, etc...
Some might say how it looks is number 1..
Some might say layout support (outside of standard).
But as long as the keycaps would support standard layouts, it could be ugly but I'd be ok with typing on it because it felt right.
Can you say the same thing for the other qualities?
Looks great but feels cheap and only supports standard layouts.
Supports every layout but feels cheap and looks like crap.
That fact that people hit out at others because they actually care about how the keyboard feels is a perfect example of this community..you have plenty of very generous people but most people are out for themselves...it is no wonder we have such a huge problem with thieves on here...more so than any other enthusiasts community I've seen...
And before you say..well that is what I'm doing...no it isn't...I'm not banging on about my specific needs or layout without concerns for other stuff...I'm not even asking for things like getting rid of scoops..I'm merely saying 2 more keys would add a lot to the set rather than some of the more obscure layouts..and I believe that but if it was the option of these 2 keys or winkeyless, that's a no brainer...Winkeyless for sure...ISO, for sure...Even some other things like 75% or shorter R Shift.....
