The article makes a good argument against simplifying Silicon Valley down to its faults:
> stop talking about how Silicon Valley only makes ridiculous overpriced juicers
But who are those people who simplify Silicon Valley, and mock the useless innovation?
I feel like the author falls victim to the same blind-men-and-elephant problem: he somehow reads all the 'thinkpieces' (whatever that means) that focus on strange things SV does. I personally do not see this phenomenon, probably because I get my news from aggregators with different bias. The (successfully defeated) strawman is just that, a strawman.
