I'm not sure what you mean by people creating problems for themselves out of a thin air. The article explains the constraints (speed, accuracy, comfort, avoiding online criticism, attractiveness, etc) that the author lives with. Did you intend to point at a more general situation that you've encountered?

I too cannot fathom what goes on in many people's heads and do not claim to truly understand them, but so far it's not been because they've created problems for themselves out of thin air and insisted on keeping these problems as pets.

Yes, I refer to a more general situation. It seems to me, that the author of the article explains her choice as a way to try products and to write reviews that would be useful for people with long manicured nails. I can accept this explanation and to understand that. But it means that there are other people who choose long nails for other reasons, aren't they?

How dare people prioritize their style and aesthetic over the utility their body provides.

Let people have long nails if they want.

This seems like a fine niche product if it works and is comfortable.

I didn't say that it is bad. I said I can't understand it. I also cant understand quantum mechanics, it doesn't mean that QM is bad.
