It is possible one should not choose this system over a traditional approach, but the people screaming "rip it out" are out of line IMHO. It would be a huge expense to rewire a building with copper and they already got a working fiber system. Much can be said about GPON but it is actually quite stable and easy to manage.
I don't think anyone is saying replace the existing fibre with copper, but instead to run cheap SFP-equipped switches in basically the same topology as the GPON you described. For a new build, less splitting and more copper in-building would be cheaper and easier. Aled
