I'm speaking in general terms mostly. But joke or not, that is a real attitude I've seen.

Gotcha. I was playing into it a bit for that reason. And it's also a bit truer of my actual thoughts than I care to admit. I've never been a huge fan of the "toxic maximalist" shouting down everything culture, though I think it only became that in later stages with wider adoption.
I think it's mostly a cover for not having technical or economic etc chops to debate, mixed with personal economic incentive blinders. It's complicated I guess. The usual cover is "I don't want newbs to get rekt" but it's become a way for idiots to get attention and feel like they win arguments (on Twitter), imo.
