It is perhaps a matter of perspective.
I'm known to obtain a lot of cats from a variety of breeders who made the desirable combination to use in my own line of cats or to just make pets rigth away just because they are so gorgeous.
But when I own a cat which is clearly bred by someone else and this cat helps me to improve my own lines I don't feel bad that breeder's name is displayed in my cat.
Stronger even if I really like that cat I likely go search in their profile to see if they have a shop to obtain more pretty kitties I might like.
We all use eachothers kitties to help improve our own lines so basically we are more on the same page than we might know maybe.
But yes as said some might feel it is violation of their cat or "fascistic" even if they hold a breeder and owner name while others feel the complete oposit and find it useful.
There might be disagreement about this and about if this is useful or rightful or not and we can obviously discuss that and perhaps we never agree because I see both sides of this topic knows strong contradictive opinions which we might never be able to find a mutual agreement about.
I for one like to vote to skip the "elitish" label from this discussion I think it is pretty scary people throw with that term just like that and label people and often times without even knowing them!
That is very judgemental and what if you judged that wrong?
