I think stories like this get upvoted because a certain percentage of HN users want FB to fail.

A certain percentage (probably other people) want Google to fail and upvote those stories.

A certain percentage want YC to fail and upvote those stories.

A certain percentage want Apple to fail and upvote those stories.

I don't think anything meaningful can be derived from such upvote patterns.
