I think it's the same root cause as many problems: the belief that there must be a "best" that is single and absolute. You see the same thing everywhere. Mac vs. Windows vs. Linux, Android vs. iOS, PC gaming vs console gaming. Whenever there's a technical choice to be made, there will be people who argue that their choice is the "best" choice or the only right choice. However I think these absolutists are actually the minority, you just tend to see them more often in forums like HN. I suspect the vast majority of people don't really care. FWIW I'm a hydrogen fan but just bought a BEV, so I can assure you that people like me do exist.
