Aside from assertions that this is a bad thing because you say so,
what evidence do we have that this is a problem?

Furthermore, I don't think it's appropriate for you to use the Haskell
wiki for unmarked opinion pieces like that. It gives new people the
false impression that this is the consensus view of the Haskell
community.
