For me the issue with emulsifiers is a pure taste issue. I find the
emulsifiers give a very detectable flavor to the food. Try mixing together
some guar gum and drink it raw. You'll get the flavor. Try adding that
thickener to ice cream or any sauce, and you'll be able to still detect that
flavor coming through.

It's very subtle but many people object to those emulsifiers so I'm not
alone.
