I might enjoy eating babies, that doesn’t make someone claiming this practice should be banned on ethical grounds wrong.

In many countries people eat young lamb or veal, some consider it acceptable and others don't.

It is very easy to call for a ban on something that you personally do not enjoy because you lose nothing. In fact a majority of the world's population likely does not enjoy cruising, just as a different majority does not enjoy snow sports, water sports, car racing, motorcycles, horse racing, skydiving, rugby, rock climbing, etc..

There is some form of ethical or safety concerns for each of those but the world would be a very boring place if we banned them all.
