I'd hazard a guess that most HN readers are early adopters. This is a perspective from the opposite. If you're making a software product there's a very good chance that 20-60% of your user base is going to come from these self-identified "low end" users. I didn't upvote the OP, but it's valuable to surface this kind of perspective occasionally, if for no reason other than to remind us that the people that consume readers' services may be coming from a different perspective than we do.
