The lack of skill and the presense of a UV filter may both ultimately result in degradation. However, they are *different* types of degradation. Degradation has qualitative properties as well as quantitative. Maybe people object to the quality of the degradation with a UV filter, while not minding the shortcoming in their own technique. Or, at the very least, see the shortcoming in their technique as something they can work on to eliminate, while the UV filter is something they can eliminiate in 10 seconds.
