I don't think they hate Merchants nor Pures. In Mod Mark's sticky he said many things that JaGEx would be doing that could benefit Merchants, though we still can't make as much money as before. And Pures, I think they just got caught in the crossfire when the Wildy had to be redone. I think it's more like autoers, RWT's, scammers, drop traders and stakers (possibly).
