I respect your tastes but, as a human, I like the objectivity in the article. I actually couldn't care less about the backstory and I tend to skip articles that wander around without getting to the point. I prefer to read a book when I want that.

In other words, different people sometimes want different things...

Ok, but brevity is the soul of wit. That's part of my point, this is a long form article with no content. If a human had written it, it would simply have been two to four paragraphs instead! "I made a thing, and it was cool the api stayed the same" rather than this really long winded article saying nothing at all.
