A very apt comment:
Eh, I think it’s just a strawman sales tactic. It’s way for tactical trainer dudes to say-without-saying: “If you’re looking for somewhere to spend your limited funds, spend it with us, not with them.”

Let's grossly over estimate and assume this works out to about one million semi-active shooter-competitor-trainees/trainers-whatever. There are 80 million gun owners and 40 million handgun owners in the U.S.

Competition vs. tactical isn't the problem. Getting tens of millions of gun owners involved in something - anything - is.

I'm one of the 40 million and am trying to fit in a time to do either one of those.

One of the best quotes I've ever heard regarding this, even though I can't remember who it was from:

"I know a lot of gun owners, but I know very few shooters."

I like the competition.  It beats standing in a lane, punching holes in a madly dancing target (hat tip to sfg), while other shooters hot brass comes flying in your face, or worse   :)
