The purist`s just dont like BM getting mainstream recognition, like alot of metal fans is I suppose.

Purists don't like Dimmu because they have gotten much weaker. The last one barely anyone talks about, and Death Cult was overly symphonic and not as biting as their previous releases.

Amon Amarth is getting mainstream recognition, and their fanbase is still right there, stalwart as ever, so let's not slander metal fans.

And I'd say if you can't enjoy a whole album of Carpathian Forest, Immortal, or Bathory, and a symphonic band is the best black metal you've heard, you're not a black metal fan.
