Etsy has been providing it's service at a discount and people are just mad about them bringing prices higher to match their value. I'm sure any serious seller has considered running their own site, or maybe they have one already, and they know the sales are nowhere near what they get on Etsy because of the built-in audience. If that wasn't the case they would've left Etsy already and not have to deal with Etsy telling them what to do. A "strike" for a few days accomplishes nothing if people just go back and continue buying and selling. The simple answer for them is to start their own site but that will involve doing everything themselves at significant cost. The fact they don't want to do that should be proof enough for them that Etsy is worth the fees
