People are allowed and encouraged to speak freely about anything on the internet, but people seem to forget that this is the world wide web, and writers can't control who in the world shows up to their blog or site. With a little help, someone who might not be in the core audience, might actually enjoy or learn something. If everything is written with jargon and abbreviations with no context, it's really just lazy inconsiderate writing.

It never ceases to amaze me how many websites for restaurants or whatever neglect to mention basic things like what state (and country) they're in. Even newspaper web sites assume that we know that the "Chronicle" or the "Ledger" or whatever generic name is the local paper for East Bumblefuck.

Which they can easily provide themselves.

It is not, for the intended audience.
