I think it has become that way. Some people flaunt that they have high end systems and they listen to certain kinds of music and I think it puts the hobby in a negative light at times.
I think manufactures or salespeople can become snooty. The audiophiles that I know with systems way more expensive than mine just like music and sharing it. Sometimes the technical talk goes over my head since a lot of them are advanced DIY types.
