You may or may not be right; unless you have numbers, it's really a
question of faith. But that was not the question here. "PA works for
the majority" is a very different (and possibly true) statement from
"PA works for everyone", which is obviously false, and "Most people
wanted to get rid of pulseaudio only because people like you
perpetuate some stupid myth that PulseAudio is evil" which is worse.
