This is nothing to do with the packaging system or the ecosystem, the author decided to dive into the file format specifically. They even posted comments from the rpm source that echo the confusion and disbelief reflected in the article. Is the tone the author took the problem you have with it? Otherwise I don’t get why you are so against someone trying to learn how a file format works and documenting the experience.
