I thought he makes understated and effective use of it which enhances
the style and content of the work he is presenting.

Of course but you are blaming the wrong thing

And I sympathize. My ISP has no Linux client and I am not about to
write one or find something more generic so use of Linux is a limited
option for me. My employer runs a website that will only open with IE
so if I want to get paid I use IE.

I suppose he wants a wide audience but not necessarily at the expense of
his presentation.
The MoMA was installing a sculpture by Carl Andre that they owned, and
owned at considerable expense. It was some number of, maybe 25, squares
of copper plate tiled on the floor in a square and filling a corner at
the inward join of two walls. Wanting to protect their expensive
artwork they installed the plates with some sort of drop sheet between
them and the museum floor. Andre goes ballistic. He makes them take
the installation down. So they proceed to reinstall without the drop
sheet. Andre will not have it. He is so miffed that he refuses to let
them install the piece in the show at all! Sometimes the art comes first.
