In my opinion, there are really two choices. They are either trying to improve (then join the devs and do something about it), or they are trying to manipulate it for their advantage, another breed of fiat people. I would vote for the latter and ignore the bastards. YMMV.

I'm trying to understand why smart people argue in favor of changing the protocol. I think this is my main technical gripe/insecurity.

Bitcoin imposter syndrome

If Bitcoin requires technical understanding, then it will be a complete failure as a project. 

Your mom doesn't need to understand SMTP protocol to send you an email. Nor is she required to know how a microwave actually works to heat up some food, etc etc.

I would even go a step further and argue that ultimately people won't even need to understand (nor agree with) the underlying economic / monetary-theory aspect of Bitcoin. They will simply use it because it works....us early adopters understand a bit of both because of where we are in the adoption curve.
