I don't think anyone gets upset 'cuz someone else is using sims and samples...I mean, they're no different than plugs vs hardware...etc.
The point that is usually made is that the art of recording with mics, in a space, etc, etc...is being dismissed too quickly by too many people, for the sake of creating everything in an ITB virtual reality. There's nothing wring with using those virtual tools....but people lose so much knowledge about actual recording when they live entirely ITB, and when they never did anything but ITB.
Recording IMO, really comes to life when you make and capture sounds live, in a space...and you interact with it and play against it..etc.
So it's not shaming...it's maybe more about the lamenting the loss of that for many newbs.
