Have you ever lived under obedience? This is often considered a prerequisite for holding command of e.g. a monastery.
Would anyone who has lived under obedience write such an astoundingly self-unaware post?
The answer to both questions is no.
No, I haven’t. I’ve participated in a variety of commitment contexts, none of which were at the level of monastic seriousness.
I would guess it’s more about the ability to accurately model what it’s like to be a subordinate (as opposed to being about commitment).
