Besides... what's it all about? Is it all about getting out there and riding your bike regardless of brand, or is it about nutting up on someone because they ride a brand you don't like?
I like your attitude! You're right, you know. I have a son that's a Cat 2 in CA and he races a Trek and LOVES it (and wins too!) even though he was able to get an equivalent Specialized at cost, which he did for a 2nd bike in case he crashes, but his faith is in his Trek. Bottom line? To each his own!!
P.S. I ride a Specialized and I love my bike!!
