People parroting this have no idea what they are talking about. I guarantee that 99% don't even know what a dApp is, let alone trying to build one or pay the insane cost of RAM on EOS. Most of them don't even know that EOS is centralized. They just see other newbies jumping on the bandwagon and they follow suit with zero thought.
As more people realise that EOS exists only to make money for the Block Producers at the cost of everyone else, it will die.
You just said the real truth which the newbies are following to do. These junks don't know anything related about the topic they are entering into but they will act like the one most oldest and most experienced person in this field . The main reason beside this factor is also the landslide fall of ETH value in the market . Since the most stable currency ETH hit it's low people started to think that ETH is over and will never come back again in that glory thats why they are shifting to EOS.
