I guess I fail to see how an optional flag is going to change the overall view of FIRST or turn people off to competitive robotics. I don't think this 'optional frill' is on the same level as your other two examples.

Everyone overreacts to this because they don't have a robot to build. If it were January there'd be a handful of posts on this thread. Build season can't come soon enough.
