While it's certainly not to my taste if it exposes more people to philosophy and helps them on the path to a calmer existence... why should we care?

If we can't expose philosophy to everyone.. then many are stuck with religion and that's not good for anyone.

Whether religion is not good for anyone is a very interesting and difficult philosophical/psychological question.
What’s bad about being stuck (so-called) with Buddhism compared to this?

For that matter: being stuck with Stoicism compared to Buddhism also wouldn’t be bad.
