> The reaction to this seemingly benign observation was one of the strangest eruptions of outrage I’ve ever experienced on Twitter — and I’ve experienced quite a few.

There's no insight here, just a bunch of people talking past each other all assuming their opinions are the supremely righteous ones, OP very much included. Also, one of the biggest bullshit job of them all is "reflexive bureaucracy-condemner."
