OK good point but think about your tone dude! You're coming across like you think we are stupid and I'll offer the benefit of the doubt that you don't intend that side effect.
My tone is such that it addresses the nativity of posts like this. Especially when said nativity pushed for potentially counterproductive or harmful mindsets that prevent real solutions from being discovered.
Nativity must be addressed if hard problems are to be solved. It's a baseline.
A small slice of users are going to understand broader technological, community, funding, and survivability nuances. As such these should be explained so we're not simply hand waving necessary complexity away. Encouraging deeper discussion from others who would otherwise pass posts like these up because of the low quality.
It's the difference between talking about niceties, vs actually working towards solutions. These are hard problems, and should be recognized as hard otherwise they go unsolved.
The more readers know about the rest of the iceberg the better. The more knowledgeable folks you attract to a discussion by encouraging critical thinking the better.
I don't disagree with your analysis. I just think your tone is counter-productive. Good luck getting your message across.
