Pretty sure no one that views penny stock promoters as “heroes” gives 2 craps about open source developers.

To call this a “cultural phenomenon” is reaching a lot

Would love to hear why open source developers are immune to blackmail, peer pressure, and immorality. Maybe we can give that protective shield to our politicians. Wouldn’t that be nice

Many implicitly or explicitly behave as though that’s the case.

Correct, but stock promoters are not seen as special or authoritative unlike CORE developers. They also have no power to degrade Bitcoin unlike CORE developers. You may disagree, but there are good reasons to characterize certain developers as villains based on recent behavior. Luke and Mechanic would happily lay out the case if they haven’t already.
