> I feel like you're trying to criticise lifestyles of other people, but don't see a real reason for it.

I feel like you are reading way too much into it. You say less friction "feels really good", but don't address his point that maybe less friction is not actually good. There are many areas of life where this is demonstrably true. Take road widths, for example. If we "reduce friction", we end up with wider and straighter roads which have shown to cause people to drive faster and results in more fatalities (i read this on the internet somewhere). Sometimes friction keeps us grounded.

I found nothing offensive about the parent comment, and have noticed similar things.
