How is it possible that anyone relies on it in a way that it will be a detriment to them?

"I run bitcoind because I want to help centralize the network through incentives to direct miner submission and slower block propagation, and by encouraging utxo bloating 'fake addresses' outputs! I also like diminishing my own ability to anticipate the content of the next block using data on my own node" ? :P   Were that actually someone's opinion I don't think anyone would regret inviting them to run different software.

I've been engaging 1:1 with people concerned about the change on forums for the last few days and I've haven't yet encountered any clear argument as to why someone would be harmed by the change.

Rather, I've found that they've simply been fed an incorrect argument that this change is a product of "bitcoin core" being in favor of non-monetary (ab)uses of the Bitcoin network, and that it will radically increase the amount of it.  As far as I can tell this is a total falsehood both respect to motivations and credible effects, and allegations otherwise just don't survive the sunlight of a competent counterargument.
