Is this a matter of actual observation or a personal approach to design?

In other words, are users saying they want to be given tools so they can
string their own answers to their own questions or do they simply want a
solution they can live with?

Do they really want the drill or the hole?

If people "all the time" want the drill, wouldn't they've been flocking to,
say, Linux over Windows? (As the former gives them "the possibilities and
constraints in the environment visible so that people can create their own
activity to suit their own particular situations and contexts.")
