Mostly by those wishing to progress their wildcats. What Gary says about the 6.5 Creedmoor, Short Mags and other newly introduced rounds is not a new agenda.

Propaganda has been around longer than guns. I have Contenders in 250 Savage, 6.5x54, 7x57, 300 Savage, 358 Win and plenty of others.

I've shot the Savage rounds thousands of times and never had an issue. Full power loads, nothing reduced and on old frames, not the new G2.

I do believe wildcats are great and I own many. But, there are many vintage rounds that still work great. They just fell out of favor because the market was saturated. Once everybody owns one, someone declares it no longer works. Clearly, you need a new Whizbang Super Magnum.
