Help me understand what the author is trying to say, please. It could be I’m missing something. It just reads to me like the author feels everybody else has a responsibility to somehow make complicated topics easy.

That's what tutorials are for! 😂

Some topics are just complicated. If I write you a tutorial in fast Fourier transforms I can’t start the tutorial at 1+1=2.

I can’t start the tutorial at 1+1=2

But you can put it in the pre-requisites

Of course. But that wasn’t the complaint/satire of the satirist whose article we’re discussing.

I think you'll find that's a huge part of the complaint - unexplained terminology. See Microsoft tutorials that never tell you what any of their TLA's are, nor link to any explanations of them, exactly as is satirised
