A legitimate viewpoint ff.

However, well above that, I think that we should get back to a situation where the only lives risked are those of knowing and knowledgeable participants - and never those of spectators and unknowing passers by. That has to be the highest priority.

After that - well Old Warden for example is largely run on the basis you describe, and the last airshow I went to there was sold out. So there is room for that - on the other hand I am not sure that either the pilots or spectators of the Red Arrows or Blades want to see an end to aerobatics, and the pilots at least accept and understand the risks.
