One of the possible objections to this is the one that holds that black holes are only formed when atomic matter collapses to a point. This is not valid, because, contrary to what has been stated on some TV science programs a black hole only requires collapsing matter, not collapsing atomic matter. (And atoms are notorious for resisting compression. Thus, even the super-massive black holes in this universe could have formed before atoms were! (Something that seems to elude TV cosmology program-makers.)
