In practice, for a bunch of men with the philosophy "a man needs a woman like a fish needs a bicycle," they sure do spend a lot of time talking about how crappy the bicycles are for the fish.

Because it's extremely contrary to what 99.9% of men are brought up to believe. There are a lot of concepts that are difficult to learn, understand, and embrace. It's an experience that takes some men years to adopt. And there's a constant influx of men who are new to the concept and need help understanding it. It makes sense there would be a lot of discussion.
I think that spending time on, for instance, the MGTOW subreddit doesn't in actuality make progress toward that goal. It focuses very heavily on how women/feminism/society/whatever victimizes men. Victimization mindsets foster an external sense of locus of control instead of an internal one, which holds people back.
My reading is about Red Pill, which is all about being independent and taking responsibility for your own life. Everything good or bad in life is your own fault. There's nothing wrong with women today, there's something wrong with men (or at least, something wrong with the men who are unhappy about their relationships with women). I think it would be rare to find anyone who's read about Red Pill to disagree with any of these, and I don't think any of these concepts (as applied to straight, white men) would be offensive to even the most extreme feminist.
Movements like this are proof that everything creates its opposite. Mutual arising.
Some would argue that these "reaction formations" are a precursor to eventually meeting in the middle. A sane, loving marriage of equals. Some of us have this, some don't, and some don't want it.
The world is a big place. Plenty of room for everyone (for now).
