Miners, obviously.
yea, maybe.
So they think that NXT is kind of against BTC & al.
Isn't the case more like so that all cryptocurrencies are on the same side and USD, euros, pounds, etc. are on the other side?
Usually it is a good thing to have a new member or competitor in the area, which is new for customers. That increases the total volume of the area and also the customers will have more alternatives. That "concept" is from more common products like cars, consumer electronics, ... why couldn't that work with currencies, too.
You'll see miners claim they support cryptocurrencies as a movement, but then do a 180 when they are told they cannot mine a particular crypto. They only accept shitcoin-clone-cryptos they can mine early on then dump for BTC, because they know that these coins will never overtake Bitcoin. When a coin that does come along and does something different, well... they don't like it because it threatens their investment. (Even though they can just easily transfer BTC -> NXT)
It is not a surprise that a majority of miners stifle competition. People and companies have been attempting to stifle innovation that hurts their bottom-line ever since money was first invented. As PoS becomes more and more popular, miners and ASIC companies will continue to fight PoS coins, as that is the only way they can maintain their profits.
