 > I get what you're saying, but by the same logic we can say "What is
 WordPress without users?" and we would then have to give badges to
 everyone who has ever downloaded or used WordPress - they use it and could
 also spread the word about it.
 >
 > Profile badges are designed to recognise people who make contributions
 to keeping the WordPress project growing and moving forward, so if we
 start giving them to everyone then it would dilute their purpose and make
 them all rather pointless.

 I quiet disagree with this. Some users are using WordPress because their
 company use it, not by choice. In my opinion, this is not contribution
 using a software but going to an event, speaking about it, working on
 workshop is (allways IMO) Contribution.
