Because we are not owed anything by HN commenters. Floatingatoll posted what they wanted to post, and they have no responsibility to post anything more than that.

If you or I think there should be recommendations of which specific VPNs properly route Mac app traffic, then you or I can do our own tests and post our own comments with those results and recommendations.

Well, no, I felt earlier when I posted this that I owed a "steps to reproduce my results" explanation. It got lost and I'm glad they called that out.

I'm definitely frustrated that so many people (in top-level comments on HN, especially) are taking for granted some random Internet post without verifying it, but that's no excuse for the missing methodology.
