Because it fucking gaslighting. I remember having this WTF moment when I was reading the O'Reilly Ethereum programming book.

If web 2 was html 5 and css3, how does a protocol that relies solely on money being transacted make the basis of web3?

This sounds exactly like a VC plot. "There will be money exchanged on every transaction". I bet they lost their minds in the pitch room when they heard it.
