They feel the same about motorcycles, smoking, alcohol, high-performance cars, and any other "non essential" artifact of our culture (and other cultures) that people could be harmed or killed by. Some are reasonable - tobacco is a killer for sure, but others aren't inevitably going to harm unless they are used irresponsibly.
They argue against the hardware because hardware doesn't pay the bills. If people are going to be irresponsible - and lots are going to be whatever the risks are - then they need to be made to eat only the right stuff (no fructose, no trans fats, no cholesterol, ad nauseum) in moderation, have no access to sharp objects (let alone firearms), not be able to go fast in machines and be required to wear helmets and such on ones that afford no protection, stay out of the sun, lose weight, exercise, avoid stress, and on and on.
To avoid all those pitfalls, just die and get it over with, it's the responsible thing to do
