I think they're just trying to point out an instance where the overhead of SSL connections is a burden. It's interesting. It's something that many developers wouldn't think about, but it has a real world consequence for this user in this instance. Yes, we aren't going to throw away SSL because they had a bad experience, but it IS interesting to note, and it may even lead a few developers to think about how their tools could impact the users in non-optimal conditions. It doesn't have to be an argument to be interesting...
