I have a hard time reading anything negative about Steve; he has a very sound and well thought out reason for protecting those bolts that are there to aid new climbers. If you don't like it then you should go purchase some land of your own and climb on unbolted routes. If it weren't for people like Steve, Minne would still be covered with garbage, glass, used condoms and syringes. And, I have been a student using those back up anchors for additional safety and although I don't use them now, I see no need to remove them. I'm not so self-centered as to think that because I don't use them they shouldn't be there.
