The initial airdrop was different just solely because of the fact that there was no dillution and no potential conflict of interest. Now, when UNI is publicly tradeable, you encounter a significant conflict of interest where people aim to take advantage of the free money to enrich themselves by taking advantage of millions of people who poured in their hard earned money into the token.I simply do not believe all of the actors here have honest intentions not to rob the current holders of UNI of value.
If it is voting power the actors are after, then adjust the proposal that the coins will be locked in a contract forever and cannot be sold and can used only for voting matters, but even then, I would not trust the people implementing that they exercise such a feat as they have a direct conflict on interest. No, no, and NO!
