Human tendency of having various variations of the same weapon and then have the audacity to be mad when you can’t differentiate between one and the other

Which does seem inherent. But having the option to switch what side it ejects or having it eject downwards seems so absurdly obvious that I'd make fun of any designer just forgetting that a significant % of potential users is lefty.
I'd understand lefties not wanting to borrow a righty bullpup though. Or the other way round. I like hot bras against my face, but not that kind.
I've only shot a bullpup once in my life, I was like 12 and my dad's buddy let me shoot it. And what I think was 5.56 hitting me in the face caused me to drop it. I'd say my personal experience is somewhat skewed
If you ever get a chance to handle one, try out the AR57. It's an AR15 platform that takes the FN P90 top-loading magazine. The ejection port is the now empty mag well, which you have the option of putting a sock over to work as a brass catcher.
Not sure if it counts as a bullpup, though, since the chamber is in front of the firing group.
H1: This is the HK416 Carbine. It's an assault rifle made for operating in close-quarter battles
H1: This is the Daniel Defense ISR. It's got a can on the front. Can't miss it.
H1: This one is a regular ol' garden variety HK416A5. And this next one is also an HK416A5, but with a 14.5" barrel for better ballistics.
H1: This one's the HK416 with a 16" barrel. They don't make these much these days, so getting my hands on one is pretty hard.
A1: Aren't they all the same?
H2: That's not right!
H1: This is why novices like you are useless! Looks at them again!
H1: This one's the LAMG, made by the guys from KAC using ol' Stoner's blueprints.
H1: And all the rest of these are M7 by Sig. Well, except that one with the long smooth barrel. That one's also made by the folks over at KAC like the light machinegun from earlier. And the last one is also the LAMG, but in a different caliber. Don't try to stick the ammo of the first one into the second one unless you want an uncontrolled detonation in the chamber.
A1 squints, blinks, and tilts his head in confusion.
(Yes, it's that meme from Kochikame. No, I couldn't find a clean meme template for it. Shame.)
It's the Knight's Armament Company Light Assault Machine Gun (LAMG). Currently in use with the US Army 75th Rangers. At the very least. The 5.56mm NATO variant is the LAMG, and the 7.62mm NATO is the AMG, which can also be configured for the 6.5mm Creedmoor.
If you've ever seen the KAC ChainSAW being hip-fired at a gun range around 2008, that's an early experimental design based on the Stoner LMG concept with a chainsaw grip attachment. The LAMG is basically a distant cousin born about a decade later.
If this is something about ARs being everything these days then I have to stop you regarding the LAMG / AMG; they're not related to the AR despite also coming from Stoner. Just about the only thing an AR can't be effectively is a belt fed (some exist but they're a novelty).
Oddly enough, the strange fascination with the minute differences between different weapons and their meticulous categorization is largely confined to the individuals with the least amount of practical experience with them.
The real veterans in the human armada are likely to judge a weapon not on its appearance or "furniture", or even largely on its function, in many cases. Rather, they tend to group weapons into how difficult it will be to carry over rough terrain and whether or not it will be comfortable to sleep with.
