I completely disagree. The rant is a problem but the complaint about reencoding is quite valid.

The average person can easily understand "the copy looks worse when it could look identical". The issue is not even thinking to check.
And I bet most of them do care, even if it's not caring a lot.
It’s a classic “forest for the trees” scenario. The use case 90% of the time for these tools is “I have a format problem and I need something to solve it quickly.” Rarely do they care if it’s lossless or not.
Anyone who knows what lossless vs. lossy means and when it matters knows what tools to look for and what the limitations of each tool are.
