Please tell me where my "rabid hate mail" is above. I'd like to know.

There is a cost to developing things. This cost is in the development tools.
Sometimes this cost is in money, hard drive space, time spent, etc.

So don't call us Microsoft-like bloatists when we require a few more tools
to do development. For the 99% of people who have ever installed FreeBSD
and don't do handbook development, they don't even see a difference.
