I'm not the person you're responding to, but to me it seems like a straightforward and commonly used technique. The sentence is intentionally crafted for comedic effect via sarcasm, given the general audience that comprises HN, and given what's being pumped across all social media platforms & news media outlets. to say it directly is to utterly remove any comedic/ sarcastic effect. whether you find it funny/ effective is up to you, though.
