Really? You don't think there is anything aggressive or vitriolic?
"Well, perhaps we should, I don’t know, read the IKEA website?"
"...that totally coincidentally happens to pay affiliate marketing commissions."
"Maybe we should be generous and ignore all the errors and misstatements above."
"...then congratulations—you understand air filters better than the Wirecutter."

Not to me, no. Snarky, yes; aggressive and vitriolic, no.

This is extremely aggressive. I thought the author might jump out from my monitor and attack me after I read such statements.

Not at all. I just see some mild sarcasm.

This is not aggressive or vitriolic, lol -- this is just a writer with a point of view and a voice.
The article is specifically a rebuttal to a Wirecutter review, so the target audience is really anyone who cares what Wirecutter thinks about purifiers (a lot of people rely on it to guide their buying decisions, after all), and perhaps the staff at Wirecutter.
I can't speak to the article's technical accuracy, but it appears to do a good job of systematically breaking down their analysis using technical arguments, visualizations, and math.
