Well, fires aren’t allowed in the alpine already (https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/okawen/alerts-notices/?cid=fsbdev3_053600#wilderness) so that shouldn’t be happening to begin with. Not extinguishing fires completely is not exclusive to the backcountry. I would argue that people backpacking have a better understanding of LNT principles and are overall better stewards than the general public at campgrounds/dispersed campsites.

And you’re only perpetuating the stereotype. Yes the Amboy area has a bad rep, and it’s not entirely underserved either.

But people move, people change, you’re not doing anyone any favors here.

Maybe OP is exactly the kind of person the area needs to bring the average level of kindness and intelligence up?

I don’t live in Amboy, but I’m not far from the area. I promise you we’re not all crazy.
