Not quite what I was expecting with a post that begins with "An Open Letter to...". I've been trained to expect any such letters would be someone's way to make their grievances about some entity public.

Now I need to go reflect on why I feel disappointed it was so positive. Haha, only serious.

I had to reread it like 3 times to make sure I wasn't just missing the "call out" part of the letter. I think I am happy about it, though!
I like it. It's a nice change of pace. Not that there's anything wrong with negative open letters, but as you said, that seems to make up a majority of them.
Only a majority of the ones that (1) make the news and (2) are explicitly called "open letters". There are actually tons of public missives on the internet full of positivity.
I had to reread the first part of it to make sure I was reading it with the right voice/tone
I agree! I'm all about airing of grievances, but it's also good to see validation that previous such airings of grievances have led to advancement.
