Not controversial for me, glad you can own your disdain, you have plenty of company and I get it but my comfort and ability to ride all day long trumps any problem you may have with it.
It bugs me when others try to dictate how I set my bikes up.
I'm going to assume you will quit riding when you can't ride them like that anymore.
