The OP is pretty much right although he left out low sec players which also fall in the independent thinker group for the most part.
Ive been in a quite a few 0.0 Alliances and most of them want you to be a drone because thats what makes a 0.0 alliance strong. Yes they like leaders too, but they dont have room for independent types for obvious reasons.
Sure care bears dont go to 0.0 but neither do most people who like to play on their own terms. The game is structured to make it exceptionally hard to profit in 0.0 independently(but yes it can be done,)

One of the biggest draw backs to being in most 0.0 alliances as an independent type player is all the screaming about kill board stats. I know this isnt the case with every alliance but definitely with most.
Now if your getting free ships of course they are going to complain if you are just losing them for no kills.
But in most they get rather upset about kill board rating.
If I want to fly my T3 cruiser or my Faction ships in dangerous places I dont want to hear a bunch of **** if I lose them. I really dont want hear **** because I didnt use an alliance approved set up when I was soloing in my own ship.
In my experience most alliance players are sappy drones following a few competent leaders - and unfortunately they all have to listen the the other major contingent - insecure college boys trying to impress people in chat bragging and making up stories.
Honestly I see nothing fun about any of the major alliances other than bragging rights.

You are a troll, accept it. Lots of people are in 0.0 alliances and they are genuinely fun for people, otherwise they wouldn't be there would they now. It is a game at the end of the day.
Actually you just coincided my point.
I never said a lot of people dont enjoy 0.0
I said independent minded people dont enjoy the restrictions that most alliances impose and the structured play style.
You didnt actually refute any of my points. You just said they dont matter to you. And he one point you disagreed with you were wrong. While you may not personally care about kill boaord stats - most corps do care, you comfused your opinion with reality on that one.

The difference between the independent minded person living in 0.0 compared to the one living in high-sec, is that the former knows that he can trade some of his time in return for potentially very interesting and profitable game play while at any time having the choice to say f**k this I'm leaving.
And the latter is stuck in empire/low-sec because he is bound by irrational fears of bondage and an inability to assert his independence in a group.
Ever notice how insecure people equivocate others choices to "bondage" or various other unpleasant ways to lack choicesas opposed to just accepting that they might be doing what they enjoy?
Im case you didnt notice - ya youre insecure.

various quotes
Your point?
Being a "drone" is the extreme opposite of being independent by definition.
Being in "bondage" is not at all the definition of living in safety.
