This sounds like network security gatekeeping to me. Tailscale and others are trying to make things easier for most people while preserving high security. This is a noble effort IMO.
I mean, the exact opposite is also true? The Wireguard camp is always essentially claiming that everyone not using Wireguard is incompetent and should feel bad for not understanding how it is better, and this post to me felt like "let's make some space for people to say something good about IPsec actually solving a problem for them".
I had other intentions with my comment than what you insinuate.
