>>Anyway from what I can see people here seem to ignore the facts and trends of the market.<<
What, exactly, have you seen here that gives rise to this impression?
My impression differs from yours. My impression is that most people are well aware of the facts re VFP's market position and have made decisions on that basis.
You seem determined to present a scenario of a band of blinkered luddites who threw out a prophet for daring to speak the truth. Future prophets need to watch out or they'll be thrown out too for disagreeing with the blinkered ones.
That picture is a complete invention.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
