Since I've run one since 2005, I don't think "passionate hatred" applies. It's just a fact that they are an obstacle to spectators, especially on TV, and therefore the "story" that attracts investor and sponsor dollars.

The better ways to hit an index include programmable digital ignitions, nitrous controllers, and similar devices. They provide the same tunability without the funny looking picture.

As long as the front and back gate is the zero-sum game in the economics of drag racing, it will be stagnant. Every major advancement in the economics has come through broader marketing, usually dependent on sponsor dollars, which are in turn directly dependent on exposure, which brings us to TV.
