Look up "charitable interpretation" or "Principle of charity"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity Basically -- don't assume the person is stupid, figure out a way to interpret it better. Surely the author is aware of the inaccuracies in a direct comparison. The author is implicitly pointing out that a multi-billion dollar corporation is putting out a product that is not polished in several ways, while people who love the product do mental gymnastics to defend against any flaw rather than admitting that such flaws exist. |

It's like the people on Reddit ios/apple/mac subs who run iOS 13 or Catalina betas and claim they haven't experienced a single bug. I don't understand that mentality. One, you're defending a corporation. Two, even if they make your favorite devices/software, it's OK to say something negative.
