You’re totally right.
I’ve always been really embarrassed to field an unpainted unit or model but I’ve also never played competitively or tried to field an army with any particular speed before, so I can fully understand how the ‘grey tide’ comes about.
Not everybody is going to enjoy all aspects of the hobby equally, though there’s clearly more stigma around “I just wanna roll dice” than there is around “I just wanna paint models.”
