I don't really think we disagree on that much here. I think the only place we veer off is that I feel as though he's just trying to talk to his audience, vs being passive-aggressive.

The intended reader, as I interpreted it, would be the someone that reads Javascript Fatigue articles and goes "hell yeah". For this person the abundance of frameworks probably does feel tiresome. The person for whom this kind of advice would be patronizing doesn't seem to be who this article was meant for (although now I see what you mean by the title being click-bait)
