Taufags aren't making comparing the Tau Empire to the Star Trek federation or any sort of utopia like that, just to the Imperium. Put it this way, on the Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, the Tau fulfill your physiological and safety and security needs. Anything more than that and you're on your own to fulfill those.

The Imperium doesn't even fulfill your physiological needs. You're fighting just to survive. The Tau certainly aren't perfect and have a lot of shady elements, but realistically any person who answers "where would you want to live as a human in the 40k universe" is going to answer the Tau Empire.
