We have the chance to protect our jobs in the future, and saying that this has no value is likely coming from the same people who voted against ALPA; those who are short sighted and didn't spend any time at the regionals.
The first ten years of my career were ruined by RJ's, I don't want the next ten years ruined by RJ's ending up here.
So to put the answer in TEM terms; a positive outcome is not a measure of safety. We were flying unstable approaches for years, and it isn't a problem until it is, and then it's catastrophic.
The current TA 1.0 is like an unstable approach... it won't be catastrophic until it is. TA 2.0 will be like putting in protections against unstable approaches.
