Because I described a situation in which I felt a certain way, and you expressed that you felt a different way in a situation which had certain similarities. I felt that I could identify a significant difference between those situations and wanted to confirm that we probably have similar subjective experiences when confronted with similar enough circumstances.
Had I discovered a difference, it would be worth further discussion. I’m unsure if this similarity is worth further discussion. Feeling like it would be trivial to do something else, believing that I want to do something else, but not doing something else is a common enough failure mode for me to be worrisome.
I haven’t codified the exact distinction that I make between those two concepts; in the case of material science, a ‘problem’ would be a pressure vessel at a low temperature containing high pressure; the failure mode of such a problem would be brittle fracture.
In this case it might also have made sense to call it a class of problems; each instance is different enough that a general solution would be different in nature from a series of specific solutions which combined covered every individual exemplified case.

Tangential question: why did you use “failure mode” there instead of “problem”?
