Why do you think top upvoted posts have to be a 1:1 correlation of value? If you look at the most watched videos on youtube, the most popular movies, or sorted by top of all time on subreddits, the only correlation is that people liked them the most.
The post has a catchy title and a (in my opinion) clear message about using models as API callers and fuzzy interfaces in production instead of as complex program simulators. It's not about using models to write code.
Social media upvotes are less frustrating imo if you see it as a measurement of attention, not a funneling of value. Yes people like things that give them value but they also like reading things with a good title.
I mean, the message is wrong as well. LLMs can provide customer support. In that case, it's the business logic.
