Fear of Bass Clarinet

In my fifth grade year, my band director asked for a volunteer to switch to bass clarinet, but no one went for it. To me, that kind of makes sense, as we were all learning Bb clarinet and were very small, but every year since then, only I ever showed any interest. Talking to my fellow clarinets in junior year of high school, I've found out that people seem to be afraid of the bass clarinet. Personally, I've not found the transition difficult, and the bass clarinet is a wonderful instrument! Does anyone else see this apprehension in clarinetists?
