None of this comment has anything directly to do with the article; the article is just a coat rack these arguments are being hung on.

Unless I missed something (and I just rechecked) there's nothing in the guidelines about comments having to be on the topic of the submission.

IMO it enriches HN comment sections to allow for people to bring up adjacent topics, things that came to mind or funky little "this reminds me of..." anecdotes.
