That's not what the talk is about, that's one of the examples of brokenness he's talking about, as is the kill example, and yes they are deliberately troll-y examples.
The talk is about the very last statement "sometimes you have to drop your tools and make new ones" whether that's "everything is a file", "do one thing and do it well" (the ps example), or the way communities are structured. You don't have to agree with him on any of them but to dismiss them as "whitestraightmansplaining" is to duck as the point flies over your head.
