Isn’t Guido actually making a political gesture here? There is no technical argument. One side signals their allegiance to centralization as a philosophy of government; the other side signals their allegiance to decentralization. It’s similar to the recent dust-up over masking: one side craves centralized, top-down, totalizing governance by experts; the other side craves decentralized power, maximizing individual liberty. Both sides loudly advertise their allegiances.
