Even if it’s meant as tongue-in-cheek, it comes off as dismissive and carries a certain smugness that I find particularly irritating.

And the smugness feels especially unfounded because the author clearly has decided to double down on their views even though it’s not at all evident that they’ve taken the time to interact with the tech as an end user (which millions upon millions have, last time I checked). They’ve just not gotten it, or: yes, it is you, not me.

This is just another form of rote, unthinking (anti) hype. It reminds me of the smugness that Balmer had towards the iPhone.

There is actual anger there, he's pointing out WHY he's pissed.

He covers this point, in depth in the article. From a few angles.
