SQ & MQ (relative to skill)

So ive been playin aoe2 in both steam and voobly for a few years now, with some periods of rest (not playing, although still watching games). I still remember a time in voobly where MQ was inexistent and it seems to have dragged some players (especially voobly in my experience) to the thought that MQ is for noobs who "have to learn how to play", their words not mine. This however just doesnt compute with the fact that ive seen many pro players streams and they play with MQ, i dont know if all of then but for eg Viper has said many times that he allways plays MQ.

So i just wanted to ask if this MQ hate from some players has a base in any actual logic or is it just because they want the advantage of playing SQ (a method they have trained in many games) agaisnt the playerbase which is used to MQ because, well it just makes more sense to aleviate some of the massive late game macro.
