Why are some people so easily excitable about choosing to use or not a piece of gear?

Why are some people so easily excitable about choosing to use or not a piece of gear? In my other sports and professions I’ve not seen this, what is different about Scuba Diving?
Or, is my experience just oddly coincidental and it happens many other places and I just haven’t been there?

I'd say it happens in just about every sport - However Scuba allows the participants to say "you'll die" more frequently which adds an air of finality about whatever opinion is being touted as "best"...
