I think the negative reaction is that the OP was talking about a baby tracking app. To extrapolate some kind of larger lesson about someone's parenting from their use of an app that tracks how often their baby poops is... a stretch, to say the least.

Maybe, but it still seems like micromanagement. The answer to "When does my baby poop?" will always be "Anytime it's inconvenient to clean up."

I mean, it's literally something our pediatrician told us to keep track of in the first few weeks of our kid's life. And keeping track of last nap, feed etc is a useful indicator for when the next one is going to be. Micromanagement maybe, but it does make life easier.

That's only because measuring poop is the easiest way to measure food intake.
