I don't see anything wrong with that, because all opinions are not equal.
I think there is some level of pressure to get one's word in quickly, otherwise the nebulous cloud of commenters moves on to the next story, and your well-thought-out comment that took hours to write is seen by no-one. If you're responding to someone hoping to get into a nice conversation, you're out of luck since they have no idea you just responded to them.
It’s a very diplomatic choice. Moreso than I’d have gone with. I admire your restraint!
I would take anything Matthew Green blogs about with a grain of salt. It's not clear how much of what he says is just cheap amplification of what others claim.
"Apple is DOOMED!"
"Turn off your iPhone, Apple's security BUSTED!"
