You could say the same thing about lead, asbestos, etc.

  Lead is only bad in fuels and chew toys. Removing lead from solders, piezoelectric components etc is truly catastrophic.

Sounds like you're happy turning Facebook into something that consumers don't touch on a daily basis, like piezoelectric components. No complaint here, so you've got a deal!

    Removing lead from solder is, well, not really catastrophic. I’ll admit lead free is a pain in the ass sometimes, but catastrophic, not really.

    Removing lead from solder has positive benefits for home hobbyists who might not have proper vent hoods. Or who might be teenagers. I switched to lead-free solder for all of my projects and haven't had any problems, let alone a catastropy.

    lead paint was also a bad idea (unless you count it as a chew toy)
