I feel like they don't. I believe it's just an attempt at making you refrain from giving your opinion in the future, because reading your opinion bothers them.

If so, I'd say that sickos like me who waste their time opining on random facets of random posts on HN are pretty unlikely to be put off by this sort of pushback. We're all degenerate opiners here! :)
Having said that, in this case, I think this is just wrong:
> "people shouldn't", which is a directive/command
I think this is a misreading of the word "shouldn't"... It does not mean "are forbidden to". I honestly struggle to see how you could possibly read it as a "directive/command", especially in a random comment on the internet rather than, like, a legal document (where it wouldn't appear anyway).
I think it's pretty clearly a value judgment, and thus fairly clear that it is a subjective opinion, as all value judgments are.
