If we go by your own double-standard logic, which it is since you are not opposed to sealed collectors doing the same, you are also not using yours as intended. Based on the photos you have shown. you are forcing them to be used as 3.75" mannequins. Not as toys meant to be played by kids.
Honestly, you being called a "jerk" is a polite way to define your attitude towards anything that does not deserve one of your double standards.
And to answer your question... I find them to look nice when the collector creates a narration for their collection. But it is not for me since I prefer a well organized collection above ones that tend to look cluttered. And loose to be properly thematic regardless if they are graded or not.
Here is the thing. Those who either buy loose/graded, or have them graded, feel the same way. Atop of the fact that there are those who are paying extra just because reproductions, which is an issue within the vintage collection community, are something they opposed. Things you would learn if you chose to understand why they collect this way.
On what facts? Because in the eight years of looking at how people collect, I have only found one person who fits your claims. And this was at a video game forum. Everybody else, including members in this forum, do it because it is how they want to collect.
Here are a few examples if you are willing to prove you do not hate them by learning who they are:

I have seen how you display your stuff. It is also not a "natural habitat" for a product whose sole focus is to be played by kids. But if you have noticed, I do not create BS excuses to degrade you or your collection because of it. Because I do this thing called respect. And I believe each and every collector that does not
melt a fish tank full of (around 3,000) vintage Star Wars figures has created a nice habitat for their collection.
Not true. You have accused them of not loving their figures, acted like their means of collecting is wrong, claimed their figures can never be used "correctly" (i.e. ways only you approve), claimed their "natural habitat" is wrong (i.e. whatever you approve), claimed that they are either braggarts or into making money, and did this with no regard to who they are and why they collect this way. That is hatred.
Plus, at this point, they are historical art pieces that came from a generation that did not have video games, tablets, and other items that continue to make it harder and harder to feel like Hasbro can finish where Kenner left off. Hence why preserving these in any way should be welcomed.
That's nice. But please post it in your limelight topic. Despite any issues you give me I like how you display your stuff.
