The problem, of course, is that the Shomer Emunim and their like (and break-offs such as the various toldos, etc) practice a version of Yiddishkeit that constantly is trying to “go back” to something that never was and rightfully so never was.  One cannot “take everything to its rightfully conclusion” as they do, as then you are left with something that may appear to be Yiddishkeit and claim to be the “best Yiddishkeit” but is defiantly not Jewish at all; as we see (and our hearts cry) in this case.
