Semi-seriously; its essentially culture vs sub-culture.
Cycling as a culture is big and there is space for everyone.
Within that the sub cultures will always have friction with each other.
The audaxers will hate the sportive crowd and we all hate triathletes.
EC1 arent doing anything substantially wrong and more people on bikes is a good thing.
My only personal gripe is the seeping of lad culture into cycling which I think harms the open-ness of it. And its just dull.
If you use the gentrification metaphor, EC1 are the £3 Flat white millennials and Cade is Foxtons.
