I wonder if people know this is just an entirely unhelpful view on the subject.

You might want to review the guidelines for commenting:

"Be kind. Don't be snarky. ..."

It's someones view. If you feel its unhelpful, I'd be curious to know your reasoning behind it.

How is the original comment not snarky?

Perhaps it was, but surely that doesnt absolve replies from following the guidelines.
