As you repeatedly point out, there are multiple solutions to each issue. Assuming good enough technology, all of them are viable. Which (if any) solutions end up being illegal, incentivized, made fun of, or made mandatory, becomes a matter of which values end up being normative. Thus, these people may be culture-warring because they think they’re influencing “post-singularity” values. This would betray the fact that they aren’t really thinking in classical singularitarian terms.
Alternatively, they just spent too much time on twitter and got caught up in dumb tribal instincts. Happens to the best of us.
