People who write about programming in their spare time are people who really like programming. You aren't going to read a blog post by a software 'mercenary' describing their tribe because mercenaries don't work for free.

There are many people in all sorts of 'tribes', but only a few of the tribes wrote blogs.

Yeah, I see plenty of articles on either side of the extreme (that obnoxious "Programming sucks" post comes to mind).

You have a great point. The large mercenary class in the industry is just not as visible because the nature of it creates a non-vocal majority.
