It’s a bit of both, really: although a lot of its commentary is about a the transactional model, it is at the least exacerbated drastically by the cost of actions which takes it far out of the micro-transaction level. If you compared it with a traditional database system that adopted cost-based micro-transactions, well, that one would actually be micro-transactions, at least several orders of magnitude cheaper, at which point a lot of the complaints the site is making barely apply by comparison.
