I am just surprised because so many, including myself have celebrated the fact that the public key is protected behind a hash. I'm surprised that this decision didn't cause controversy in the space in itself.

The Taproot decision did, somewhat, back in 2020, on the bitcoin devs mailing list. But I guess that feedback wasn't taken seriously, especially by core dev Pieter Wuille.

It didn't hit my Twitter, Reddit or Bitdevs UK at the time. 😮‍💨
