Well then ethereum is not for THOSE people.

It is fine if you don't like those features. But it turns out that a lot of people DO want them.

The people who want to court system can already use the court system. Now we just have more options and choices.

Why do you think that the court system somehow doesn't apply to what happens on ethereum ?

The courts can certainly make an attempt to apply themselves to what happens on ethereum.

But if someone wants to, they can make it extremely for that to happen.

Good luck finding the anonymous contract creator that set up their contract by sending money through Monero.

Also, empirically, your claim that courts will get involved with ethereum smart contracts just isn't true.

It is not true, because gigantic scandals and contract theft have ALREADY happened on ethereum, and the courts haven't been able to do shit.
