If you’re not, and I say this in good faith, take your own advice around your tone. Making assumptions about other people, and then doubling down when they correct you, comes across as a kind of horrible I doubt you truly are.
I say this in good faith: oh, stop.
Right, you’re a troll. Something, something Dwight Macdonald about parody needing to be smart and not bitter.
Nothing here is remotely parody.

does it piss you off that punct isn't used properly anymore and that, commas, can happen anywhere? Are you one of those who still has use for em-dash?

1.) No. It's another helpful tell. (And what do you mean 'anymore'?)
2.) I'm comfortable with varied comma stylization.
3.) My personal usage of the em-dash hasn't changed in a few decades and I don't see it doing so just because a bunch of folks only just recently learned it exists.
