I think the point is those are the outliers and the majority are scams.

Ethereum is an outlier in the cryptocurrency world?

Ethereum is the reason there have been so many ICOs in the past 3 years.

Yes, Ethereum is an outlier in the sense its ICO wasn't a complete scam.

So it was a non-scam ICO in support of a platform for facilitating scam ICOs? Great.

You may not like how it's, but it's not fraudulent nor illegal. Similar to to sellers of alcohol, tobacco, or firearms operating legally.
