I don't know why people are getting so worked up about this.

I think people are getting worked up based on the same underlying protests that followed the early Internet: The "nerds" who created the web were horrified and even grossed out by the idea that their mothers would be online, swapping recipes.

But you can't have "mass adoption" on one hand, and not have all the "stuff" that comes with mass adoption, on the other.

You're not going to GET mass adoption from insisting that the only way is to be fringe dwelling semi-militia anarchists sitting in a basement surrounded by weapons and survivalist gear. It's not how the world works. It's not what the world wants. So you have to compromise... "Ideals" seldom gain mass adoption in their original pure form...
