why are camera owners different to other consumers

Just think of Mac vs. PC. iPad or iPhone vs. Android. Ford vs. Chevy, BMW vs. Mercedes. Harley vs. Japanese bikes. I've seen Miata vs. Subaru, Miata vs. Corvette arguments on the Miata forums. Heck, even Bilstein vs. KYB vs. Tein shock absorber arguments.

Find fan forums for almost any type of product and you'll see the same kinds of discussions. Tools, knives, home theater, you name it. Even flashlights, believe it or not.
