I didn't downvote you, but I expect those who did aren't reading it as "a question" as in "a request for information" - which I would think should rarely be downvoted - but as "a rhetorical question" whose purpose was to serve as a point of argument. Interpreted that way it seems to be attacking a strawman, poorly - such a comment would be deservedly downvoted.
