That's nice, but only deals with people-moving, not any of the other infrastructure burdens of higher density. So, yes, by ignoring most of the issue while addressing a tiny corner, YIMBY’s are exactly papering over the issue.

People specifically mentioned transit as something that’s ignored and that’s simply not the case.

This is why I dislike “Steelmanning” arguments since nobody spends the time to research the opposition and just better articulates strawmen.

I’m not a member of the hyper logical brain geniuses society that eats this stuff up, but if you want to zero in on stuff YIMBYs are weak on consider ableism, school crowding and (If applicable to a region) water availability.
