I think it's two types of defensiveness.

1. Shovel salesman insisting all "real" gold miners use their shovels

2. Those that have already acquired shovels not wanting their purchase to be mocked/have been made in vain.

Neither are grounded in reality. Why people believe their tiny applications require the same tech that Google invented to help manage their (massive) scale is beyond me.
