> The real question is why it got upvoted given that seemingly no one read it and has anything to say about the content of the post. I'd guess it's the people who just wanted a place to air their unrelated grievances.

It may be "a problem most people don't have", as you say, but it's still a problem that some people have, and homebrew is used by a lot of people, so another possibility is that people upvoted the article because they found it useful.
