In most cases they are being asked for their opinion on various matters, which basically forces them to at least say something, and when they don't really care about a certain subject (which is the case when it comes to Bill Gates and crypto), they mostly come up with terms that the crypto community gets nuts over. People need to look at the context of his words, and not directly jump on him like he said something horrible. Could he have used a different tone and wording? Sure, but who care anyway? Bill Gates by far doesn't come close to what sort of baboon Warren Buffett is, because this fastfood addict takes everything to the next level, and actually attacks Bitcoin, which is something Bill Gates didn't do, and likely won't do later on.
