Another fellow pressed me on this.   What I should have said - that perhaps is more clear - goes like this.

1. Worry about your own operation --> because you can control it.

2. No point to worry about the other guy --> because you almost certainly have no control over it.

3. Point #2 does not in any way detract from what your personal views are.  Point #2 is NOT saying anything about the "rightness" of any ham operation practice.

If the guy asked me "can i use my web sdr to hear you better?" - Sure, I'm going to say "let's do it the old school way."  But they don't ask...  And I would be willing to bet they don't advertise either.  I'm just going to log the QSO and move on to the next contact.  Point #2 is is simply a reflection of my personal belief that time wasted worrying about things for which I have no ability to significantly influence is wasted time - and the clock is ticking for all of us.

So this is sort of like Olympic doping or other amateur endeavors where they keep score?

There is no real point of worrying about what the other guy is using.  We only can control our personal operation, and really have to leave the other end of the Q to manage theirs.
