There are plenty of bitcoin software engineers that have put out information and done interviews explaining why they think you’re misguided. You just have to go search for it because the influencer group with the major platforms have largely aligned themselves with Knotts for obvious reasons. At this point everyone has the info they need available and if someone gets rugged because they chose an less secure software, no one else cares.

I've seen stuff from a few of them. The only message I got is it is too technical and you wouldn't get it. And the vibe I get is a dishonest one. What can I do but follow my gut if I am not a developer that understands technical things?
So what is less secure? Am I going to get rugged for running knots? Why?
It’s in the future so know one knows. Luke does what he wants, your trusting he doesn’t make a mistake since there is no formal process where other equally competent software engineers review his work and are able to stop it before it’s published. Lots of non-software engineers say Luke’s code is better, maybe they’re right?
Like I said. I am a people person. It's easy for me to see people's I tentions. Like may be on his own mostly. But those in the knots camp come across as aligned with myself when it comes to what bitcoin is for. To go with the crowd usually isn't the way for me. It's not that complicated. Filters or no filters. Knots is 99% the same as core. It isn't lukes code.
Bitcoin is for people, but not about people.
For bitcoin, code is infinitely more important than people. That is what it is made of. Rules encoded in code.
Nobody can explain you in a simple way the interactions of computers and networks, and the intricacies of maintaining those systems in a sane state.
Run knots if you want.
But my honest opinion is, if you really think it's easy for you to see the intentions of anybody, you are fooling yourself.
Some of those coders are just fucking weirdos, and I get it, they don't pass your vibe check.
But that's just your problem, not necessarily theirs.
