I dunno about gossipy, but the narrative style is standard at Quanta. It's written for the subscriber who is reading for leisure, and wants a good story as well as some amount of technical depth, not for the HN reader who wants to quickly judge whether figuring this thing out is worth their time, and will abandon it if not.

The disillusion of most here to even imagine that the math is within their reach is quite astonishing.

What evidence do you have that the people and bots here think the math is within their reach?
