There are always idiots who say "never" to anything they don't personally like. Nothing you say or show will convince them otherwise.
Personally, I camp with only propane and battery. No generator, no hookups, no solar. Many will argue that I am doing it all wrong and how I need to do this or that to improve my camping experience. I just ignore them, save my money, and enjoy my camping my way.
You could also add to the opening statement that they also tell others they are fools if they don't use items on their "approved list". (ie Battery type, Generator Brand, Battery Monitor, etc)
When it comes to eliminating Propane from one's typical RV one might be able to do so if they only camp in temperate climes. I encountered a couple in Arizona a couple years ago that had about 600w of solar power on the roof of their converted Step-Van and cooked using either an Instant Pot or Induction "hot plate".
Since they didn't need either heat or A/C it was very workable.
I do think that many have either never camped "old school" in a tent of old "teardrop trailer" or if they have, they've forgotten how it was done without heaters. Perhaps that was why large dog breeds were so popular back in the day :W
