My hot take is that this represents actual human behavior, like in a human Sturgeon's law sense. 90% of campers are going to camp less than X times a year. (X == 3? IDK. some low number) They're going to go to Reddit and look for "best tent" and then go to REI and buy it and feel great. That's all they need.

10% of campers are going to camp > 10 times a year and have nuanced opinions about tents. Occasionally, these campers will post their lengthy tent opinions on Reddit, but mostly they'll stay quiet because they already know what the best tent for their own uses is and don't need to deliberate on it.
