Well I'm glad things are going good for you. Some of us are still struggling. Many people are too poor to splurge 1K on a luxury office chair. This article is about those people.
1K on luxury office chair? What kind of office were you working in? I'm a software dev and every company I've worked at had those horribly uncomfortable mesh chairs. You can find low priced - if not entirely free - decent office chairs off Craigslist. There's entire wharehouses full of office equipment priced less than $100 that will have the same ergonomic effect if not better than an average office in my experience.
Ye, I literally picked up my home-office chair for free, it was surplus at a school and destined to be thrown out. Sure, it's pretty worn, but the stuffing hasn't even STARTED to crumble to the floor yet, many good years left in this baby :)
FAANG. The chairs at the office were super good. This is partly why I'm part of the pro WFO crowd - because then I don't need to spend thousands on getting a similar quality setup to the office.
His comment seems reasonable in context. The article is about poor posture, with chairs and laptops being indicated from the initial image. The initial comment says that nothing has changed for them, implying that their home office setup is just as good as their pre-covid office setup. The reply is to that implicit statement, saying that office chairs are quite expensive, so not everyone is able to reproduce the same setup in a home office.
These are not explicitly stated in the comments, but can be reasonably inferred from the context.

It's basically a blaring bourgeouis flag if the past year has been pleasant for you.
The less well-off and young are suffering greatly.
