Most of the criticisms seem to be around the -coin and -currency monikers, not noticing those are skeuomorphs.

People get seem that it is an asset, but confuse themselves over its monetary branding instead of what people can and do with it.

Many do then move the goal post to "there is no demand or intrinsic value", which may more easily retain durable consensus with them, even though most of the criticisms elevate this asset class to a standard higher than any individual asset class in existence. But still related to the exchange rate, instead of what people can and do with it.
