“The sad part about "audiophile ridicule" is that it's mostly ego driven, not really an interest to advance the art.”
Don’t confuse “ego driven” with indifference. Yeah, a few pundits go out of their way to bash audiophiles, but the vast majority of rational human beings are simply indifferent to this hobby. And that's why there's not much ridicule for audiophiles to contend with. Moreover, I suspect it’s this benign neglect of the hobby by the vast majority of humanity that is really the bone of contention for many audiophiles. “Why aren’t my friends and family taking **my** hobby seriously?!”
It was Kierkegaard who noted that the one insult more injurious than all others is indifference.
Perhaps some folks have an inferiority complex where audiophiles are concerned. But to suggest this is true for most people who are dismissive of the hobby strikes me as pompous and self-serving.
