I must say I find this mildly offensive.  It's basically a strawman argument.

All of us arguing in favor of structuring the namespace have made it
very clear we have no intention of applying this everywhere.

It's rather a (tongue-in-cheek, yes) argument by reduction to absurdity, which starts most validly from the premise of "consistency" in the opposing camp.
