The same "why is this person still working for $employer/$industry_field" ( which is mostly a attempt to use anchoring effect )
The same "but this single person by his action is destroying completely a multi million dollar industry" ( because yes, free software and linux can be considered as such given how many people are paid to work on it, etc ), which is a bit hyperbolic, and if 1 person could destroy a industry this big, we would have enough example.
The same "if you do not like, leave it" argument.
The only innovation is the appeal to dogma ( the old "non unix way"trick ), and the tentative of ignoring that a community is about people, not code. Sure, it may make you uncomfortable to confront the fact that there is more than technical discussions, but that's not by burying the head in the sand that you will make problems go away.
