The real issue with that tone (I'm contemplating cancelling my Anthropic subscription now) is that it's all too often the "confidently wrong teacher".

The tone is not the issue IMO: we're already at a point where we can have another, cheaper (as in: 20x cheaper for example), model query other models and have them reword the answers when having a "chat".

pi.dev can definitely control a Claude Code TUI window and follow prompts to Claude Code.

I'm 100% sure the arseholy tone of recent Claude Code models can be rewritten today, to not be arseholy, by literally prompting another model to unharsole Claude Code.

Now of course this doesn't solve the other half of the issue: in "teacher lecturing you while being confidently wrong", the "teacher lecturing you ..." is really not the most important issue.
