I think the point some are trying to make is that Debian's direction can
be influenced[1], but this requires involvement. It might also be
cheaper in the long term than distro-hopping every time the distribution
in use takes an unwanted turn.
Of course, this will not fare well with people that chose GNU/Linux
because of the wrong impression that it is without cost.
[1] possibly even more so than other distributions, provided the desired
changes don't go against the Social Contract, etc.
Kind regards,
