Having been around the network for a few years now, and having talked up Urbit to countless people of countless different professions, political beliefs, ages, etc, I can confidently say: This isn't true.
It's just that a specific sort of Hacker News/Reddit gets agitated and makes a lot of noise on this subject whenever Urbit gets brought up.
Normal people who just want their digital lives improved aren't interested in these cringe 2010s-era blogosphere political beefs.
