I think the complaints about offsets are the last twitches of a failed ideology. As it becomes more and more clear that climate change is something to be taken seriously - so clear that even american big business is starting to move in that direction, the people who've spent so much time jumping up and down and screaming that climate change isn't important need a way to ease out of that flawed perspective. The act of complaining is almost like the grease by which one's ideology can be reoriented to fit with reality.
So they find themselves in a troubling spot, where they complain about commodification of carbon, as if they aren't generally proponents of commodification of all sorts.
