I'm not really lawyering about this. Hacker News doesn't really do paywall discussions, since they're off topic. I don't have a particular opinion on this issue but I do care about minimizing off-topic discussion, hence why I felt like I could remind Browun of the FAQ.

Exactly: Hacker News encourages posting a workaround rather than discussing paywalls in general. If the workaround is of suitable quality/authority I think it generally replaces the link anyways.
