pretty sad state of affairs for this industry that their announcement had to explicitly state that they “do not use blockchains or cryptocurrencies”

We did this to ourselves. Overfinancialization is a net negative on the space and the mainstream has no interest in it. 

Anyone that can evaluate technology critically without letting their biases cloud their thinking should be able to look past hyperfinancialization and see the benefits that blockchains have to offer to distributed systems which is absolutely relevant to AT protocol and decentralized social as a whole

the public shouldn't be dictating technology decisions

i agree, there are many benefits. but in the eyes of the public, the only thing crypto is used for is being a casino, which is mostly correct. 
this is not going to change if the industry itself doesn't change.
