Yeah... I mean, who wants a wallet that takes up less than 50 megs of HDD space, loads up and syncs in a matter of seconds... when you can commit 180+GB of disk storage and a week of your life to syncing Bitcoin Core?

Lightweight SPV wallets have their place and their use cases... just like full nodes, brain wallets, web wallets, paper wallets, hardware wallets and mobile wallets. Just because they don't suit your particular needs, does not make them inherently bad.
