Etsy has somewhere on the order of 100 million active buyers, searching Etsy for goods to buy every month. If you set up a storefront on Square, you start out with 0 active buyers, searching your storefront 0 times every month. Marketplaces bring tremendous value to small sellers.

These Etsy people sound like entitled brats.
