Yes, I agree this story sounds pretty implausible to me. I think it’s more likely that EA becomes controversial or unpopular in certain circles and being associated with it becomes a mark against you—certain people become less likely to want to mentor you or work with you, for example.
It’s certainly true that some people today are suspicious of EAs! Could become true more widely.
