This might have something to do with it.
The list is reserved for those who were instrumental in substantially ripping off folks in the cryptocurrency space.

Hey look, Evan Duffield made the list. Congrats!
One major issue for DASH is that whilst being quite innovative in a technical manner there is no clearly defined 'narrative.'
As you can see in the first quote, Dash has a clearly defined narrative.
The Dash narrative is a tale of a massive "accidental" instamine, bad crypto, snake oil marketing, and 100% centralized control over everything from the code to the brand. Plus there is the cultish, hostile, defensive, oversensitive, and occasionally stalker-creepy community, which is infamous for its Scientology-like attack-the-attacker misbehavior.
I understand you may dislike and disagree with that narrative, but you should recognize it exists and that's what newcomers see.
