Are you confused because that resource doesn't try to convince of you of any particular standpoint, omitting contrary positions in the process, and instead gives you a collection of thoughts and viewpoints on the matter? In my opinion this is vastly more "useful" than the alternative: This is a nice overview and invites you to dive deeper into any of these sources. Edit: Though after skimming over the rest of them, most of them seem to be referencing pretty much the same thing. I can kind of see what you found odd. Edit 2: Definitely looks like this is just a list of commentary specifically about the work of Roger Ekirch, who is is also the owner of that site - definitely might be biased (as in not an exhaustive list) then.
