Yeah, I don't get that either. I assume that they're thinking that the author must be trying to sell the glasses or something.
I've written numerous comments before talking about the challenges and pitfalls of building almost identical portable mini PC systems on here, and people didn't downvote those. And most of the outraged comments in this thread seem to be asserting that it must be some kind of paid promotion.
Hell, I've talked about these same Xreal glasses, among other HMDs.
