The mindless parrots who say "I would do Judo if it allowed leg grabs" were never actually going to seriously train Judo to begin with. If Judo allows leg grabs, they will just move the goalposts to something else, or they would train Judo for a short while and quit after getting a hard reality check that leg grabs really aren't all that they were hyped up to be.

There's certainly a contingent of people who want leg grabs because they're.... easy. It's a hell of a lot easier as a beginner to try and grab some other beginner's leg and pull it out from under them - than to get anywhere near a turn throw.
