I'm just curious, now it kinda makes sense to not have a true home field advantage.

For one, your friend who hates the skins is wrong.
Maybe he thinks theres more cowboys fans, but that may stick out to him because he isn't looking for skins fans.
Theres cowboys fans here, don't get me wrong. But they really are the people who A) hate seeing a majority of people around them being overly happy or overly sad for 16 weeks, so they want to be different (whether to annoy or just be different or both) or B) the people who were once redskin fans but since snyder came and all those bad years, they just want to pick a new team and Dallas is not just their 'old' teams rival but their games get shown constantly here in the DMV
Now why they're aren't a few less cowboys fans and a few more Ravens fans, I don't know.
And yes, Dan Snyder has a lot to do with the reason our franchise went down the crapper for many years and causing redskin fans to turn in their fan cards.
