I feel a frequent problem in tech discussion is that the problem is greatly exaggerated, often to levels which are out of scope or come across as unreasonable demands. It has some similarities to Godwin's law.
The follow-up discussion then unfortunately is not so much about the grievance or problem, but about the needless hyperbole.
In the end, because the problem no longer feels reasonable or relatable, it seems more like the author has an axe to grind.
There's too many examples to cite, but one could follow any discussion that surrounds a change made by large tech company to find numerous examples.
