I always roll my eyes when HN falls for interviews with "random engineer or product person responsible for [feature]", as if that automatically confers authority like they're Richard Stallman or Tim Berners-Lee.
Combining the fact that they have nothing insightful to say with the ego boost from being interviewed in visible articles means that people like this are going to say whatever they think will provide a punchy, clickbait headline for the less-discerning members of link boards to feed their biases with.
The only notable thing here is how hard HN falls for drivel like this.
