Rant: Open-World "versus" Linear gameplay

An issue I find with most of us "gamers" is that we find the overwhelming need to contrast things.  Sony VERSUS Microsoft, First-person VERSUS third-person, Marvel VERSUS Capcom, Sonic VERSUS Mario.  It's apparently not enough to just enjoy two different things for what they are.  We have to enjoy one more than the other.  More so, we have to put the other down for not being "as good" as our preferred.
