Do I care? Personally, no I don't. People have the freedom - at least here in the UK - to do what they want within reason and can choose to drive or ride what they like; if they want to be with like minded people and join a club or something similar in pursuit of their interest, they can do that too. I suspect that most people tread the middle ground between operating alone and being a total 'groupie or fanboy' - some people being self-contained and others thriving in groups (or with audiences!)....human nature I think.
BTW: Forgive the 'newbie' question, but is there conflict or competition, either current or historical, between TM and MSCC? Or do they rub along fine? Just interested to know.
Quite agree on you points above, I tend to be in both camps TM and MSCC picking the best from both throughout the year, but have a leaning to TM, a bit more free and anarchical, maybe a reflection of me.
On the last question there is a history between TM and MSCC which I will not go into detail here. Primarily related to when the Aero series came along and were effectively snubbed/ignored by die-hard traditionalists mainly within MSCC, TM I believe was born as result. There was I believe an aspect of this with the new M3W's at local level as well. Anyway attitudes seems to have softened a little over the last couple of years, but unfortunately there will always be some who are set in their views and ways.
