I get that your emotional about this, and you may want to stick your head in the sand and pretend that unintended consequences don't exist, and want to lash out at those who warn about them, even trying to convince yourself that they are evil actors doing "fearmongering", but trust me, unintended consequences do NOT care about any of that, they are very real, and the last thing we need are people who won't face reality when the consequences arrive.

Your vain appeal to objectivity is just a steelman argument.

    emotional != biased
    emotionless != unbiased
Hard things are often worthwhile.
