I don't think anyone else was confused by this, but I'll endeavour to clarify for you.
The allegory the writer of the article used is meant to reflect the same perspective of people in the modern day world and the rest of my comment pretty effortlessly transitions to discussing the limitations of those modern day peoples abilities to understand technical subjects.
The frustration refers to the task given of explaining tech to the willfully tech illiterate. The first few paragraphs I reference clearly move from the allegorical to the concrete modern day person whose perspective I refer to as frustrating. I also do offhandedly refer to the allegory to make a passing reference to the article and show that the allegorical character isn't that different from the modern day target audience of the author.
The rest of the article explores explaining crypto a frustratingly tech ignorant modern person. I think that context would be clear to anyone who even skimmed a good part of the article. You should consider reading the thing people are discussing before leaving a short derailing comment about it.
