Yeah, one would think that people running a mining pool would understand the bigger picture and be able to argue with more nuance about this issue. At times it feels like a marketing campaign for Knots.

For some I'm sure it is. It's mostly emotional though - to the extreme.
Do you know of any sites that measure subversion prominence over time rather than just snapshots? I don't want to unleash yet another spider onto the network.

True, and I think that that's a generic issue across nearly every facet of society that I am aware of.
However: one would think that someone running an actual pool using that software would understand the benefits of not having to mine empty block templates for a minute. The impact - no matter how small - is in the block template inclusion policy. If one were to claim that the greatest good is financial transactions even at a loss of income, then mining an empty block isn't cool.
edit re: the emotional appeal. That's where we're at as humanity... I have a little experimental locally running AI that I can ask to rewrite an email without emotional pitfalls. It actually makes sense to simply feed every bitcoindev list mail to it.
Project for the coming weekend lol.
