>Half the people here are discussing the headline not the article

This often happens with articles that have really snappy title. If the title was just "Using refactoring instead of loops" it would probably generate more on topic discussion, but probably less interest overall. I wouldn't go as far as to call this particular title "clickbait", it's at least clickbait-adjacent.
