Oh yeah, not endorsing law breaking in any way or form, following the laws is very much a think everyone should be doing(for the communal reasons you called out among others). Gatekeeping is holding up one aspect of the community as more valid than another and I've seen it drive away many people who would be active or interesting members of the hobby(they usually go over to the ISM bands where there isn't any stigma about what is "legitimate" ham radio uses).
