I agree but you are the first person I've seen frame it in that way. I see people spew "don't roll your own crypto" often. Hopefully some variation of your "modern argument" becomes more prevalent in the near future. It is certainly more meaningful.

So agree that the argument you're calling out has the potential to be harmful in the long run, but do not agree that it has harmed anyone we know of, and would add that it has --- to the extent it's warded people off things like Cryptocat --- helped end-users.
