It's the contrarian writing that helps us learn the limitations and tradeoffs of the technology. I agree that evaluating the contrarian side is quite valuable, however both sides need to be taken with a grain of salt. I think that sometimes reading the negatives is more helpful, because people tend to be a little less careful in exposing their prejudices, or tend to be drawn to the more clickbait-y side. This makes the shallow criticisms more obvious, except for the cases where it manages to exploit your own prejudices.
