Yeah. I'm not sure why every alternative to a mainstream issue needs to be absolutely perfect and flaw free for people to accept it lol
People really love their Nirvana Fallacies.
At some level, though, I kinda get it: The flaws in the status quo, we're used to. We know them, we've accepted them and figured out ways to mitigate the consequences, and when we can't mitigate them, we at least aren't surprised by them. Bring in something new, though, and its flaws are new and imaginary and harder to predict, and that's scary. In general, hypothetical problems are scarier than ones you've already faced, while hypothetical benefits aren't as appealing as ones you've already received, so that creates a strong bias in favour of the status quo over some proposed alternative.
Of course, it's still stupid and fallacious, but that doesn't mean I can't sympathize a little.
