I think the title of the original post is trying to be creative. The world would be a boring place if everything was stated as a matter of fact. You might not like the author's creativity, but I wouldn't call it dishonest.

It's a link bait title. Got me to read it. The word "minor" doesn't get me interested.

Other suggestions:

"Why John Kennedy would have loved Digital Ocean" "What Digital Ocean and the weather have in common".

Sorry I hate to joke and I don't want HN to end up just being people joking. But I had to point out that the title that gets attention is the title that gets your attention.
