I wouldn't disagree with you. That is why I said I was surprised to see HN not tearing this kind of article to shreds.
I could discuss this for hours, days, weeks or months. So being brief and concise is not easy.

Yes, and we're seeing people who would normally turn away from this embrace it within a new context. Few here are reading the Bible, or the Bhagavad Gita/Upanishads, etc. In some sense, those old religions are dead and rotting. But their ideas are clearly present in this new crop of spiritual-adjacent life-coaching businesses. It is like a new forest growing in the ashes of the one that just burned down.
It is almost like a new safe-space to encounter these ideas is being discovered. It is fine to recognize that it isn't as fully developed as the forest that just burned down, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the new saplings we are seeing sprout up.
