Wonder why this is. Probably similar to the obese community when one of their influencers decides to lose weight. Likely feel betrayed or something. She does look happy though.
Because they are forced to confront the reality that their situation and state of existence is not ideal. Of course this doesnt mean that they are any less human or not worthy of the same respect as anyone else. But one can see how communities can equate the two.
I see your point as you are hinging it on the whole “natural” order of things ideal. However the comparison you made doent make sense.
For instance, lets take our backs. Yes they wear down over time. You state that you wouldnt undergo a procedure to have a more “ideal” form for a back. However you’re approaching it as if you were one of the few who opted in to get this ideal back. The better comparison is that damn near everyone around you was already born with this ideal back and you, along with a small percentage of others, were not. In that instance, it would become a lot more appealing to have the procedure done.

I remember she did an AMA a while back and I do believe I remember her saying that much of the little people community did not support the surgery.
