The grandfather of Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was designed to be a trustless secure currency for use on the internet. When Bitcoin was deployed, Satoshi started with zero. Everyone was in a fair Proof Of Work Mining playing field and had to mine the coins. This makes BTC a fundamentally sound, open, fair, and trustless currency.

When traditional Ethereum tokens are launched, they are all assigned to the deployers wallet. This makes those tokens fundamentally centralized, poor currency, and users must trust that the deployer is not evil. ICO Deployers can secretly withhold tokens. This misses the entire advantage of Cryptocurrency.
