Some people don't understand what it means to chain functions returning maybe types together, so they need more words.
Also, We're not taking about maybe types here. This article is demonstrating a specific library that composes a specific either type using F#'s computation expressions or custom operators.
Lots of people don't know what computation expressions are, nor are they familiar with the bind operator. They don't know why they'd use an either type instead of try/catch.
You can always reduce the number of words to say something, but you often sacrifice context and end up alienating people when you take too much for granted.
