A significant portion of developers (and especially developers on this website) have experience with, or desire experience with, these FAANGs and SV companies, and these posts are relevant to them. If you feel like you aren't the target audience, then you are welcome to ignore the post and click on something else. But it's a bit absurd to condescend others just because they have different experiences than you.

And with that said, you too should care, because I guarantee it's only a matter of time before those "hum-drum industries" take a look at the way SV does things and says "hey, we should do that too". This is already happening in many places. Your company could be next. You should be interested, if only to learn to spot the warning signs and nip it in the bud when you can.
