I guess some of the arguments are about it being non-"Linuxy" in building everything together in one blob where dependencies and feature creep make it more insecure, less predictable, easy for bugs to slip in etc...but in truth I guess a lot of the situation comes from a, well, lets say alternative facts-kind of behavior/prioritization/responses from the "product management" when bugs or security issues have been found. (And the Linux community is used to dealing with Torvalds so that's saying a bit...but in a different way so and I guess I agree that it's better to make a big scene over minor issues like Torvalds sometimes did, rather than silencing more serious ones)
