It is what I do for a living. I make 90%+ of my income working with 
WordPress themes and a solid 20% of that is fixing the mess that non 
presentational code has wreaked on users blogs.

If users understood as much as you desperately want to think they do, I 
would have to go dig ditches for a living. That denigrates users only is 
so far as i am denigrated by taking my car to a mechanic because i don't 
understand how to fix it, or to a body shop because i don't have the 
tools and skills to paint it.

Are you really suggesting no user ever uninstalls your theme?
