Most forums on the internet are like that and it’s not exactly unexpected because people who care about writing something in an Internet forum will also be pedantic about what they want. This forum is no exception (you can pretty much see this in action whenever electron is mentioned)
Many people try to reduce complex multi-variate situations into simple variable situations and then lambast people on other forums if their chosen variable turns out to be different.
I just saw an example of this last week in mobilereads forum. Unhappy with iBooks and the kindle apps I’ve been reliant on Marvin for quite a time. But the dev has vanished from the scene for last 2 years. I just investigated if creating a commercial replacement would be a good idea but good god, the one forum where people have been talking about Marvin can have extremely ultra specific needs for a very unreasonable price expectation. After reading that forum I’m not exactly surprised that the dev chose to abandon the goal post.
Redditors are basically never happy with anything. Their ideal world is some place with no rules except that everyone else is forced to read their comments. Unfortunately, such a place does not exist.
