How did nitrous get such a bad rep...?

I guess that’s me as I deem it unnecessary at slower ET’s.

To be fair I also deem it unnecessary to build a Stroker engine to run 11’s in an A body.
Please tell me this isn't the ultimate answer to why nitrous has such a bad stigma as compared to turbos or supercharging or ProChargers?
With your vast drag racing experience I know you have more to add...
