I think once you've applied the label "outrage" it's very difficult to see what people's concerns are and why. It adds this moral component, where only some people are entitled to be outraged (eg the people you identified as having understandable reasons) and thus by implication everyone else is throwing an unnecessary tantrum. I think that actually obscures what's going on.
I think it's worth resisting applying the label of "outrage," and it becomes easier after that to hear people's concerns and evaluate their merits. Because they don't have to reach the artificial goalpost to justify outrage, they just have to be valid concerns.
