It's an outpouring of the author's thoughts, feelings, and background of the whole space. Through it, you get a sense for how invested she is in a niche space. I can't speak for the author, but it felt like catharsis in blogpost form, rather than a plea for understanding or a call to arms -- such a post does not need to get to the point or cater to your wishes.
It's unfortunate that your takeaway was "TL;DR plz, also stop whining". HN's rules specifically call out this behavior:
> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
Your comment comes off as a very shallow attempt at critical feedback, and I have a hard time believing it's intended to do anything other than tear the author down.
