I think pointing to powerlifters as an example to what could happen is unreasonable; you wouldn't recommend against people doing cardio on a bike regularly because of how competitive cyclists end up.
Very few people who do weight training regularly want to be powerlifters, or look like Arnold (which, by the way, are mutually exclusive). Discouraging people from doing weights and perpetuating stereotypes about people who go to the gym feels like a public disservice.
You didn't understand my point - I am not discouraging anything, I am saying weight lifting alone is not the answer to everything, not without good deep understanding of our bodies and what you actually want to achieve in exercises.
An advice I see seldom, yet often see folks struggling to start in the gym and giving up since gym bros think often binary and weights are some holy grail while everything else is subpar, or folks keep getting injuries in older age (you know, the age when exercise adds significantly to lifespan).
