I still wonder why so many see it as their 'right' to use a DMD[/QU

Simply because a Local Rule - that overrides the actual rule - says they can.
You simply don't like the rule - there are rules that I dislike but they're in the book so that's that.
Lobby your Club to arrange such a Comp.
They'll probably ask "why?".….

You asked why I should feel its my right to use one.
The answer is, it's allowed by the rules of my club, in accordance with the rules of golf.

So DMDs give some people an advantage - or they don't. Some of us care and some of us don't. Some of us think that they are against the spirit of the game because of rule 14/3b and the rest go along with the R&A line that 14/3b remains in place so that local choice can be exercised under a local rule. There's no harm in arguing against DMDs but I'd respectfully suggest that those who do are rather whistling in the wind. The discussion has been had and to the most part the "anti" argument has been lost. Not proven "wrong" - just lost & not accepted by the majority. The stats prove it - most people in the poll use them, and most clubs seem to have adopted the local rule allowing them.
In the end, for an argument where there is no definitively right or wrong position, once one position has been adopted by a significant majority, then that's pretty much that and those of the opposite stance are rather like Roger Whittacker in a strong breeze. Of course there will always be local groups (clubs) that wish to maintain things the way they always have - and good look to them. But Canute maintained a rigid stance in the face of a rising tide and look what good it did him in the end?

I think we can all agree that SILH has the right not to use a DMD if he so chooses
