I think that many of us are still reeling from default configuration of certain "firewalls" that banks seemed like, which dropped packets containing ECN, and TCP options, and made it very very difficult to deploy new things. Even when at the IETF standards level...

I guess I'd be okay if it were the EH itself that was dropped, but I suspect it's still the entire packet. I don't even really want to drop the EH, so much as write over it with an EH that is blank.
