Yes, exactly, because it's a well known trope by now, it's no longer deceptive and has a completely different meaning now than originally. Originally it was click bait, now it is a shared culture joke. It's only clickbait if you claim that you have never seen it before. Do you wish to try to claim that? The title is exactly the same both with and without the trailing extra few words, except one is dry and one attempts to be humorous. You may for some reason find the attempted humor intolerable, but that's more about you than the article. There is actually still a clickbaity element, but it's not anything you complained about, it's leaving out a few words to say "on Windows by avoiding overcommittting memory" or similar. Beginning a sentence and withholding the gist so the only way to know the end is to read the article, is indeed click bait.
