As I read the OP, I thought to myself: If I were to steelman the people the post is complaining about, I would guess that they are interpreting the complaint about the problem as an implied proposal for how to address the problem, and they are reacting to the perceived-implied-proposal.
It seems like you’re thinking along similar lines, but are about 3 assumptions further down that road:
Not only are you guessing that they might have thought this, you’re pretty sure this is what they were thinking
Not only are you sure they thought this, you’re sure they were justified in thinking this
Not only were they justified, but all of this is so totally obvious that you’re not even going to bother articulating it, and instead treat it as an unspoken presumption of your snarky comeback
It seems reasonable to me that some people are confused by your comment.
