I think many people wouldn't like to live under a "Nerd Reich", so it's only natural that there is a mainstream article against that. I'm assuming people who don't understand anything about the technology that keeps their attention most of the time are concerned about the possibility. Society losing grip over itself, that is, language (social skills) not being the primary characteristic of the successful anymore. That is a blow conventional people won't take easily.
