No excuses for ignorance needed. 747 pilots have only ever been for 747 pilots. They ignore the facts as you rightly point out that recruiting is going gangbusters. Many are wishing for RIN for the $$$. Many are worried about going to a new type and therefore moving out of their comfort zone and most are thinking about the loss of $$$ for overtime going to a smaller aircraft.
