Indeed, writing is vapid at best.

Vapid is too strong a word, but it nothing but glorifies successful start-ups, and provides no caution for people who'd like to learn something from this. The only conflict described is agonizing over which multi-gazillion offer to take(!).

It's also fairly thin on new insights into the history and acquisition.

I think it has to do with the intended audience and the format of the publication, more than anything else.
Also, vapid according to dictionary: Offering nothing that is stimulating or challenging. Guess you're right. It was challenging to read the whole thing till the end.
Well it IS Vanity Fair after all.
