I'm really not sure what you're hoping to have me concede here. If you operate the kind of application that people on HN tend to operate, you should avoid shared hosting. I work with and enjoy talking to people who are serious about running applications, and I provide advice to people who are at least somewhat serious about security.
If you don't fit either of those molds, I don't think any less of you, but I'm not going to tailor my advice to you either.
It really sounds like you're just looking for something to be indignant about. I don't know you or anything about you, so I had no expectation that you were that kind of person. Consider addressing your objections to the thread, instead of aiming them at me, if you'd like to avoid that appearance. For truly, I do not care whether you like shared hosting or your friends are struggling indie shared hosting operators. That's not relevant to me even a little.
A less personal way to frame your objection, rather than "Are you commenting just so you can be downvoted to oblivion", would be to write a comment that starts with the words "There is another side to this that readers should consider..." and go from there.
