Interestingly, I found his essays in the early 2000s, and thought the same about it back then, when I was a teenager. Part of it is that pg's essays are inspiration-porn adjacent, and I think teens and twenties have the highest affinity for such items. Part of it is that pg used to be able to comment on anything he wanted to in society freely. His followers were all fans and bought into his style of thinking. There were no haters because pg wasn't sufficiently famous for them to score points by dunking on him. It's a shame he's achieved such silencing status. I wish he could post his deeper thoughts and observations under one or more pen names.
