If I can accept that there are people who are just fine with adapters without thinking that they're being irrational, you should have the same courtesy towards people who have a different opinion -- or priorities -- as you.
I'm with CR guy. I hate adapters for current lenses and current cameras. It won't happen. Either I'll go with the new mount and new camera, or I'll stick with my current mount and bodies for it. I respect that other people don't care one way or the other.
I'm also like him with respect to teleconverters - I don't like them. I'm more likely to buy the focal length I need than to add a teleconverter. The one exception is that if I'm packing light and will be doing a lot of 70-200, I'll take a 1.4x or 2x with me just in case I need telephoto.
This is a practical packing thing, where I only want to take small bag with 1 lens, and not carry anything extra, but want some extra length just in case. So on a thinktank holster or sling, for example, I can just tuck an extender at the bottom, and just know that it's there.

I wasn't aware of this lens. Thank you for pointing it out!
