Not a format war at all. Just stuff that people don't know about. I'd compare it to people who are booting their PCs with old HDDs, or an even worse case, FDD (someone must remember running DOS and Win 2.X from floppies), and just not knowing any better (or knowing of better/faster alternatives). Just like some people have no idea what RAM is or what more can do/does.
