It kind of reminds me of when Uber launched, and taxi drivers were talking about how it was the death of safe, clean, responsible, and trustworthy taxi service.
Except taxi drivers were not any safer, cleaner, more responsible, or more trustworthy than the general population, and the primary objective of most taxi companies seemed to be to actively screw with their customer base.
In short, their claims were inaccurate and motivated by protecting their existing racket.
