Your first point is very reasonable, and I agree that that is something Dario would likely be more opposed to.

However, my point isn't that I think Dario is our saviour who we should follow the every word of. As with everyone, his opinions should be filtered through the lens of his incentives. That said, I don't understand the knee-jerk reaction by many commenters to completely disregard the many important points he's making.

As for the lack of my account use, I can't comment for others, but I'm just quite shy. I've opened up the comment box many times to write a reply but rarely commit to actually posting it, especially because I feel like I'm not on the side of the general HN consensus.

You write well & HN is better when there are more well-written people on the opposite side of the consensus

Genuinely, thank you. This is very encouraging and makes me feel much better about commenting more going forwards.

The quality of discussion and prose on HN is just generally so high that it can feel quite a bit intimidating to jump in (in contrast to Reddit where I have no worries about commenting haha).

This 100%. It’s great to hear diverse perspectives!
