I think that just the names of the websites show one what
side they are.
If poeple who are into bitcoin for years and specifically travelled to Salvador for this are coming up with titles like this:
https://bitcoinitaliapodcast.it/missione-el-salvador/day-02-the-problem-is-chivoone might start to think that there is no conspiracy by the
evil gubbermint and that actually the wallet sucks!
It was a rushed product that was ordered to be at the x date available and like every rushed product you find out months after the release about the bugs in it.
But let's look at the bright side, if poeple are losing money it's because they are using the wallet to buy coins, so at least we have poeple who want to buy
BTC.
Can't imagine myself talking Salvador this often but yeah, Chivo WAS the problem before -- commented on it some time back, mainly because one had to question the multi-million dollar contract they got (I want to say won, but I don't think there was any bidding I could locate at the time).
We have easy, mature, solutions. But this was the one pushed down citizens' throats.
Like you said, though, I suppose if people really are buying BTC, least that's proof of concept (but really, did we need them to have a bad experience?).
