I think they're on a high horse because it's a word that hurts literally no one. I think it's fine to dislike it, be my guest. There's certainly words I don't use just because I'm not fond of them; but once you start telling OTHER people they can't use a harmless word that hurts absolutely no one because of some sort of "standard", well, that strikes me as quite a high horse indeed.
