Neither of those examples apply to or impact the bulk of HTMX projects. I've worked on a bunch of these and have never seen `makeFragment` used in the wild. The `hx-on` attribute is similarly rare — I've only used it twice myself and it took longer to open my IDE than to update those to the new syntax.

It's less about whether someone likes HTMX or not and more has to do with none of those points in the upgrade guide being relevant to, or impacting, the author or most other people.
