Just offhand, I don't think it is useful to put people on the defense about the choices they make. That they choose to do something differently than what you prefer does not make them wrong, nor does it make you wrong. What would be a wrong is if someone did something to please someone else when it didn't feel right for them to do. I would suggest accepting the differences and go on with life and writing. But that's just me and I don't have a vote in this discussion.
