You're surprised that the first web developers that try out WebRTC and have
feedback have experience with SIP and VoIP?  We shouldn't find that
surprising, nor should we discount their feedback because of it.

In any case, it's the best data we've got so far.  I made an effort to some
data because no one else had.  If you would like to make an effort to get
better feedback, I'd more than welcome it.  In fact, I'd say you ought not
to have waited for me to do it.
