It's perfectly fine not to contribute to projects you use, or to have strong opinions about how to architect things, but it'll definitely rub people the wrong way to not to contribute but have a “Why Wasn't I Consulted!?!” post.
It's also common for people here to question things because they don't agree that a particular post is worth the community's time. Many of the comments here seem like meta-discussion to the submitter.

There are two trends at work here: the most generic is the tendency for clickbait to drown out more substantial work. In this case, the provocative title isn't supported by the contents so it'll leave most readers disappointed.
The second is that there are a lot of HN users who are active open source developers and that community has grown increasingly tired of whining by people who feel entitled to have their opinions shape projects without doing any work to help those projects. Starting with “Brew Is a Bad Neighbor”, he basically craps all over a huge amount of work which hundreds of developers have given him for free and can't even acknowledge things like them having given him the ability to do exactly what he wants – note the little snide parts like “(grudgingly?)” or the way the information presented in the default documentation is described as some kind of secret reveal.
Note that he has _never_ attempted to contribute to either project:
