Am I the only one who finds these types of comments arrogant? I mean, we get it, you know better and have been doing this for a long time and so forth...Sometimes I feel like it's just about relativizing whatever tech is popular right now. Just to come back two years later and say "oh well I've been telling people about this cool tech two years ago!"

Give a counter example then. I’ve been doing this for years: people want the hot new thing even if it’s the worst idea, you rebrand it, and everyone is happy. Then a few months later, people praise you for not having implemented that bad idea.
100% agree. I'm not sure what they're trying to convey even.
