I agree it is fine if you don't mind caring for it correctly.

It's a very simple risk/benefit analysis. There are risks with a wood floor:
- Unattended standing water could damage it
- It can scratch
- It can catch fire
- Termites can eat it
- Forests are damaged to generate it
There are rewards:
- It's attractive
- It adds value to your home
- It feels good under foot
- It's affordable
- It provides sound damping
If someone feels the rewards outweigh the risks then great. if not, find a different product.
