The issue is that both your statements are ultimately very subjective opinions first and foremost. It's absolutely fine to hold those, but then people extrapolate this to things like: "The "benefits" it provides to end users are, at best, dubious — though everyone responsible for creating it will most certainly enrich themselves." And those are presented as objective value judgments, which ought to require somewhat more than personal opinions to back up. Why does it not have value for end-users? Why is it bad if people creating those tools become rich? But we live in a day and age, where everyone thinks that their mere opinion needs to be heard and has objective value.
