They talk about hating it all the time and using some minimal subset because they have to, but the point here is not what these two internet personalities hate, it's that there isn't a technical rationale against being able to use destructors. They are hugely convenient but also completely easy to avoid if someone wants to.

Everyone uses a subset. Bjarne himself says he uses a subset.
I also use a subset but the point, which I already preemptively explained, is that they don't have a technical explanation for ignoring this part of it.

It just seems to be wholesale aggravation so they want to reject things without a sound reason.

If someone asked me why I avoid inheritance I would go on a well thought through rant that connects real problems to the pragmatic reality of what that feature brings.
