because a hard fork is not just one thing. its people like you who unconvincingly try to brush stuff under the rug and treat it all as a disaster.
controversial vs consensus
accidental vs intentional.

people need to know the difference so they can see passed your doomsdays of trying to treat an umbrella term as total disaster, by highlighting that people like you are picking the worse case scenario within that term, and avoiding discussing the more logical and safe scenarios which is what the community want.

also unlike yourself who avoid learning, some people want to learn. they just sometimes dont understand some analogies. thus using different analogies appeal to different people in different ways to get more people to understand.
