If the tech is there, obviously you are going to use it. It would be daft not to. That doesn't make it wrong for them to wish they weren't there.
I do personally feel that powermeters are benefiting certain types of riders more than others, (with Quintana and Valverde clearly thinking they are the later). Removing them from the peleton would probably lead to more attacks, probably slower overall times up climbs, but much more exciting to watch.
Team coaches would probably have a heart attack if it such a rule came into affect.
