Agreed. These discussions always boil down to how you value that goal compared to the goal of not causing user issues, and different people have different perspectives. From my perspective, the current state of things (having Components be web-exposed) is far from ideal, but also not having a negative enough impact on platform-convergence goals to merit causing much user frustration. So I'd rather we stay closer to the "slow (understandably frustrating), slog of evangelism and maintaining compat shims" end of the spectrum than the opposite "full steam ahead, bustage be damned" end.
