I'm not sure what this comment is meant to imply, except that Bay Area is the only place that matters?

It is specifically addressing the GPs statement "as if its usual for any company to know what a 'polycule' is."

It is usual for a large number of companies (and tech folks) to know what that means, but disproportionately so for the Bay area. The blog poster certainly works for a company I'd call Bay adjacent, so they wrote in a language familiar to them.

It has nothing to do with "only place that matters", but simply explaining that given the context of the writer, it's a high likelihood they assume general familiarity.
