Change for the sake of change is very subjective. The end of monarchy in many countries is seen by their conservatives as change for the sake of change, while inherent benefits are ignored or not even seen as good. Some of the eldest Linux users probably hold grudges against DEs themselves other than the command line.Never under-estimate the number of people with the stupid desire of change for the sake of change and their will to achieve it.
We're used to physical keyboards, but imagine entire generations kind of conditioned to use virtual keyboards. More agility would have to develop. These people would probably complain about new technologies, like most old readers tend to complain about or not to fully enjoy e-books - an obvious advance for Earth, since one can own a single device instead of several books. I'm not that young, having spent most years of my life reading paper books, but I seriously prefer e-books now. I don't believe I will become habituated to full size virtual keyboards any soon, although I can type really fast on mobiles swype-capable that also have fine guesses on words after few characters input.
Plus, I don't think laser keyboards are that bad...
