I agree. I raised my eyebrows last year when batshit insane FUD was spreading around Jeremy Rubin's OP_CTV proposal, and since then the anti-dev sentiment has just continued.
There's also this prevalent opinion that Bitcoin is perfect and in no need of more updates. I couldn't disagree more and I think kind of thinking is ultimately very harmful for Bitcoin. There are lot of things we can do that will yield a net-positive result in the long run.
