Kind of like the mechanics I met who had over 40K worth of tools and tool boxes but couldn't time a motor with a wrench and their ears. Back before we felt the need to "improve" the AR-15 platform, there was no talk of different buffers, or carriers, or concern about the length of the gas tube. People shot them more than they modified them and they shot VERY well.
Most people who look down or don't understand vintage ARs probably have shot at nothing more than paper whole lives and would blow a fuse if asked to depend solely on their iron sights. Screw them, I love these rifles just as much as I love the JJ ray gun ninja rifles everyone thinks they need.
