YES it is entirely about a few megabytes you don't like. A few megabytes that OTHER people choose to put on THEIR computers to NO effect on yours.
YES it is entirely about a software I don't like. If other people choose to like the software is the problem of those people, but there is no way other people can (may, dare) make me like it. Note that I do not force other people to remove, avoid, or hate PA, nor do most others opposed to PA.
There may be a wagon of reasons why I don't like it, from its name to its author's coding style to my experience with it 175 years ago, and for me these are all fair reasons. If you have your fair reasons to use it, please go ahead, but that doesn't imply that someone else is also going to need it, accept it, like it, or stop criticizing it. We've got freedom of speech, haven't we? ;-)
If you find my arguments inconclusive, neither do I find your arguments "it won't harm, it will have no effect, etc". As for `technical arguments`, much of them are as subjective as most non-technical arguments (e.g. `true unix way`, or `coding style`, or `a few megabytes` or `slowdown` as well as `NO effect` are all both technical and subjective).
In the end, I humbly believe it's up to me to judge what effect there is for me on my computers.
