When the original, not-funny show was redone for American TV is when I first heard about it, and in both cases it was so obnoxious a premise to me that someone slapping a child would somehow throw entire families through loops and just a nuclear bomb-style fall out of whining, my first thought when I saw the Australian one was "I know a lot of Aussies and they aren't huge pussies like this, who is this supposed to appeal to?" I could only imagine in real life in Australia or America (well maybe not some of WASP America) the guy hitting the kid simply getting his teeth kicked in, not a super-PTSD melodrama rippling through the entire community.
In the words of Bart Simpson:
Sock him, Dad! Sock everybody!
Plus they make the kid so annoying and deserving that it's almost a comedy.
I think the appeal for the show was it's utter ridiculousness. It's supposed to be a comedy but I've never bothered to watch it., so I can't confirm.

Legitimate reasons.

@scottalanmiller Ive never used cpanel. Just used Linux from the start. I would be lost if I had to use cpanel

I tried it once and it was SO hard to use. Mind blowing to me that people actually pay for that.

I had to set it up for a client (they really insisted, and even paid for it), the mere face you had to start with a new install of Linux and it had to take everything over, build its own versions of things, etc and then create crazy configs and then there's a level of needless complexity to configuring. Why make it so complex to change one damn thing in a config file? It takes no time at all in a text editor.

@scottalanmiller Yeah I'm certainly no Linux expert but I was able to figure things out. Cpanel is much harder in my opinion.

I don't want to go on on this: It is the way it is and I am paid to work with that; that's enough for me.
I have solved that in a different way in different web systems, it is not the only or perhaps the best way. That's probably why I don't like it.
I just think that the lead developer answer summarizes everything:That said, this is a deliberate design decision. We don't have any plans to change this.On the other hand: cPanel is nice and awful. I don't find it hard but I think it is bloated. I prefer Linux without a Control Panel. But cPanel is used a lot... and I am paid to manage it
The really important thing now is: I need to rest a little bit. Bye!

I'm paid "more" to not manage it
If you get paid by the hour, cPanel is great. If you are paid by the task (or are the one paying), it's bad.

Trying it out. Install will happen tomorrow. Was sidetracked by my job’s change window tonight.

@Obsolesce
Absolutely.
Here is the problem: I am in charge of a some client's servers: among those there is an inherited cPanel with many WordPress websites. In many cases the designers of the sites are no longer working with the company. So it is out of my control.I have been moving everything to Linux without a Control Panel, updating WordPress & plugins, cataloging the obsolete plugins, etc. Maintenance work.
The website that caused my "hate" doubt is handled by some one else, someone without a clue. As the web site was down for too much time I was called to fix it. After fixing it, the web designer broke it again.
I am a developer and sys admin, not a web designer and I prefer ProcessWire or Grav than WordPress.
Yeah, I get it. However it's not a WP problem at all.
It's as @scottalanmiller ponted out, and it's not just with WP, but with almost every large platform and OS... such as all the unkept software that breaks when you upgrade your OS no matter what it is, or plugins that break when other platforms are updated. The worse those in Scott's list are, the worse things look. But it's not necessarily the platform or OS.

We've been pretty happy with it, but considering some alternatives, too.
