I think the title can be alleged mostly to the misconception which is prevalent at Microsoft since F# was introduced as a commercial product (before it used to be a Microsoft Research product).

Maybe you are unaware of that?

F# is a pretty good general purpose programming language and that is what the title and article tries to promote (albeit it doesn't give enough and diversified examples).

F# is also a reasonably easy programming language which puts emphasis first on "functional programming" (which you frame as hot keyword, I doubt the language was made to fill a hot keyword).

I don't know about the for pay contents of fsharp.tv, but I gather they might be introductory and try to bring understanding of "functional programming" aspects to an audience which isn't versed in it, it is sure good for them if "functional programming" is a hot keyword and people are looking for training material to pickup that language, but I wouldn't dismiss that as being spammy.

Chill out dude :)
