That's a different question entirely. I don't think Linux developers hate
users. I'd imagine that most have an attitude similar to mine: If someone
wants to run Linux they are welcome to do so. If they choose to run Microsoft
software instead, that's their decision. Their actions don't bother me either
way. I will help someone out when they require assistance but I refuse to help
those who won't help themselves (i.e. move away from Mother Microsoft).
Again, that's just me but I don't think I'm alone in my thinking here.

Because it's contrary to the license under which the Linux kernel is
distributed. I don't think it can be made much clearer than that, frankly.
