As a Monero, BTC, gold and silver advocate, I do see where you're coming from. While I wouldn't call Monero a poopcoin (because it does have its purposes as true digital cash), the anti-BTC bias is probably because of some aspects of BTC like the transparency that could be weaponized (a guess as to one of their talking points).

There are risks to privacy with BTC for those that don't know proper OPSEC in terms of it, which may make XMR more palpable in some cases.
