Why should that be noted?

[minimaxir]

There's no About page or any context to the team and qualifications for running a high-responsibility service, so this is the only information available about the quality of the platform.

Before reading that comment, it should be noted that minimaxir has been rejected from Stanford.

A vendor's history and potential obligations are important.

What decision would this information inform?

"Well, that sounds like an awesome service, I just wish that Paul Graham had OKd it, then we would be in the clear"?

You should think about possible answers to the questions you ask before you ask them. And then, when you do ask them, do it in a better way.
