Look, most people really do not care about the code. The relationship most people (and most developers!) want to have with code is the relationship they have with photographs.
That is to say, maybe they'd put down for something professional for a special occasion, but the one they can make with the thing in their pocket is good enough 99% of the time.
The world where that's possible with photographs has been here for over a decade, but with software it has only arrived this past year. So it's novel. I guess I've answered my own question about why it gets upvoted. I still hate seeing it. I wonder if something similar happened when digital cameras first got cheap.
