Why the disapproval? If you don't want hotswap doesn't mean that you should prevent others from getting what they like. You don't have to buy it.
Maybe if there was a hotswap version the group buy would sell out in 10 seconds instead of 2, and I might actually get to put an order in.
People who spend $$$ on a keyboard are (for the most part) pretty deep into the hobby as it is. They already have a pretty good idea which switches they like and are typically well-accustomed to basic soldering / desoldering.
Hotswap sockets add extra hardware to the PCB, increases the cost, can limit layout support, and introduces potential unreliability issues. Sockets can also be trickier to troubleshoot when something goes wrong.
For a lot of people, it doesn't really make sense to splurge on a high-end board only to put switches into hotswap sockets.
I'm exaggerating here but it'd be like going to a three-star Michelin restaurant, ordering an expensive entree, and then asking if everything can be smothered with ketchup. Like, at that point you're sacrificing a big chunk of the quality you're paying for in the first place -- you may as well stick to something cheaper.
