If your comment is motivated by substantive personal experience, that's great, but then the thing to do is to
share some of the information that your view is based on. You know it, but the rest of us don't. A snarky swipe with no information is just as bad a comment whether it's posted by someone with relevant experience or not.
If you don't share relevant information, it may as well not exist. If you do share it, you should follow the site guidelines and edit out snark and swipes, so your substantive comment has a better chance of persuading the reader, and a lesser chance of provoking (f)lame responses from others.

It gets the entire spectrum of responses. You're noticing and assigning meaning to the responses you dislike, because that's what we all do: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....
> Perhaps we have personal experience we cannot speak more openly about due to NDAs but would still like to let out a quip.
It looks like you can speak openly enough about it to say more than just "Hello Apple Global Security", which is the run-of-the-mill internet stuff we're trying to avoid on this site. If that's what you mean by letting out a quip, please don't.
