Emotions aside…….
How is the enjoyment/satisfaction/score of player "A'" impacted by the size of the hole player "B" uses?
Except for the times when a group of players choose to adopt certain "playing rules" for their round, (which could include the cup to use during this experiment), playing a round of golf is between each individual player and the course.
Golf has recognized and provided for differences in player's skills/abilities for decades without impacting the "integrity" of the game.
In my opinion, the hole-in-one talking point is the weakest of the opposing arguments as the majority of holes-in-one are more related to luck than to skill. Especially when compared to birdies, eagles and double eagles.
Finally, based on a recent article in the Daily Sun the two courses will only have the experimental 6" cups, no 4.25".
