Pinterest is using them, so...

The argument is that users have little reason to care that sites use Skimlinks/Viglinks, but merchants have no incentive to allow it.

Until sites like Pinterest can actually share affiliate revenue somehow down to their users, these sites will "send exactly as much [traffic] without the modified links."

This leaves no incentive for a merchant to allow pinterest to affiliate their links.
