You asked why it was upvoted and I gave you the reason. That the referenced post has quality content and some quality discussion is not a rejection of that. I referenced that post not because it is analogous to this post but that the discussion on it is revelatory (which is clear by what I said).

Hacker News truly has a large number of topics for which the reactions and responses are reflexively negative and large in magnitude (there are similar positive reactions as well!). This isn't "reductive" analysis and you didn't understand what I said if your point is "your analysis is reductive because liquid glass has some serious usability regressions". You can even look in my own post history to see that I agree with that just fine.

Still, look through the discussion! Much of it is clearly reflexive negativity and based on zero user experience.
