Yes the thing is most people participating in the conversation just haven't worked on the problems these tools are useful for. They maybe are an engineer... but they don't touch frontend, so they don't know much beyond the basics. Or they're a CS student... but they made a personal blog with Jekyll, so of course they know everything about frontend dev. Or they work on internal LoB apps with user counts in the two digits and no UX requirements... but they've been doing it for years, so of course they know all about it. It crowds out the discussion with low information takes.
