Because the vast majority of these people don't have the slightest clue as to how computers work. No troll, no bully, no malice. They don't know and they don't want to know. They deliberately wish to remain ignorant, as evidenced by the offence they take and rationalization they make whenever someone tries to explain any of the realities of modern hardware to them. WEB SCALE! IO BOUND! Forget assembly, they refuse to learn even the most basic and incredibly important consequences of the memory hierarchy. It's garbage collection and best practices all the way down. I don't want to make fun of people. In fact, I can't make fun of people because the overwhelming majority doesn't appreciate the joke. All I want is for people to give a shit.
