Considering recent incidents on Mozilla and Ubisoft, why do people hate cryptocurrency so much?

Ubisoft uses Tezos, which is not energy-hungry, so they may have other reasons to hate.

I don't really have an issue with crypto solutions that are energy efficient. I do think the benefits of cryptocurrencies are largely overstated, but if people want to play with this stuff then who am I to judge. However, stuff like Bitcoin is causing real and serious harm in the real world, and that's a problem.
