That's an interesting question that will need additional research on the word "shilling", so I found this:
A shill, or shilling, refers to the person or the act of enthusiastically promoting a cryptocurrency or a crypto project, for their own personal gains.
I think that the last couple of words says the most... It's usually about the "personal gains"...
I would say that blockchain, like technology, is something different than just 1 coin... If you research more, you will find usage of blockchains in many other industries that have nothing to do with crypto...

The privacy utlility of Zcash, Monero, DASH and other privacy coins like PIVX, KMD, XTZ, ZEN etc... Seems to be misrepresented as shilling, when I speak highly of privacy coins people seem to assume its for personal gain, but when there is privacy utility not offered on other chains, is it really shilling to say their money would be more private in one of the privacy coin wallets?
