I don't think most appraisers care.
The question none of the critics have an answer for is what comes next after the demise of TAF?
What coda will take the place of USPAP
How will it be developed
Who will develop/promulgate it
How will it gain acceptance and applicability across the nation (in the interests of interstate commerce)
By what process will it adapt to any changes in the market or at societal or governmentals levels
How will all this occur on the human-free basis so as to avoid the perils of human frailty
How will these standards be enforced, and by whom.
Will that enforcement be limited to the users (only) or will govt get involved as a form of consumer protection
and...
How will that alternative not enrage the same critics, on the same basis and for the same reasons, as what already exists.
Whatever comes next, the critics will hate the new boss just as much as they hate the old boss. They still won't make the effort to understand why each of those requirements exist or how they actually work in furtherance of the appraisers' own legitimate interests, and they will still call anyone who's competent with the material a shill and a bootlicker for the sin of correcting their misinterpretations. They'll still call these requirements vague and inscrutable and claim it's impossible for anyone to comply, ever.
Appraisers can be depended upon to act like....appraisers.
