> so why isn't yours.... Because this isn't a software project with a README, this is a piece of writing about READMEs that happens to be in a README.md file, likely because that's what GitHub displays by default.

  It's a means of widely distributing text files that can be commented on, forked, improved, merged, and presents a history. Your alternative is hosting a blog and losing all of those features and free hosting. I do not understand how you can hold your opinion, excepting perhaps an unexamined assumption that all repositories must be exclusively for serious coding projects. Which would be understandable but, I think, in error.

It would serve the purpose better if it were structured closer to its own ideal of a README than a quaint millenial blog post from the 2010s

  The post gives plenty of examples of the README files it's describing.
