> Disparaging these companies for making products people want while writing angry posts that these companies aren't doing what you want.

I'm not seeing the "angry posts" you are referencing here. Neither the HN post you're replying to nor the linked post come off as angry to me. Disappointed, perhaps.

And that aside... NOT disparaging these companies certainly isn't getting them to do the right thing. Informing others who might not otherwise be in a situation where they are aware of these deficiencies seems to me the most likely way to exert subtle pressure to get these companies to do the right thing eventually.
