I guess it's a way to convey informality and rejection of "the norm" sacrificing legibility.

It's probably a way to express freedom, like the freedom of just refusing to consume unreadable walls of text that disrespect the reader. Freedom goes both ways.

To address both the arrogant tone and the question itself: because sometimes people don’t have, don’t want to have or cannot use a computer connected to a TV.

Not everyone is a HN commenter with anger issues. Most of times these devices (TVs, streaming sticks and so on…) are used by normal folks that are not comfortable with computers.

I’m struggling to figure out if this is a joke.
Thanks.

That’s the thing: I’m in the US.
