However, this is a POV from an outsider.

NP re: POV.
But any time you have an organization with a selection process, private activities, effort required to meet the standards, and a situation where not everyone is permitted to join, someone is going to think it is "snooty". Keep in mind GLOs have the same accusations thrown at them. Sometimes the subjective selection criteria helps that perception along.
I say, live and let live. Whatever. People are going to organize themselves in whatever way they are comfortable. GLOs and lineage/heritage societies are part of that.
