You’re technically correct, but try to zoom out for a minute and look at the subtlety of human nature.
This topic has fired every one up because it’s unnecessarily cruel, hurts families who didn’t do anything wrong, enriches companies not providing any value, and shows people trying to be “tough on crime” when very ironically they’re probably creating more crime by eroding support systems.
The parent commenter mostly expresses that outrage, and makes a passing comment about business competition.
By this time anything you said that could be perceived as possibly being near the other side of the argument is going to be taken as supporting the other side.
But they are two separate points that can be independently discussed you say? Technically that’s true, but humans don’t work like that.
Always step back and look at the biggest point being made and realize, there may be little room for nuance depending on the context.
