I think there's something in there, but it's buried under a writing style that seems, intentionally or not, to draw most of its influence from long form ad/marketing copy. The stuff where it manages constantly to seem like it's about to say something but defers it absolutely as long as possible, or sometimes never gets around to saying anything at all. This is distinct from prose that is merely drawn out or flowery, being more like a trickier, grown-up, (apparently) salable version of what a high school student does to pad out an essay or book report.
