Only Hydrurga's answer was helpful; most of the other remarks were (variously) unnecessarily aggressive, smug, and rude--as though my question was considered a challenge.

Initially it was hard to say if your original question was for serious discussion versus not. Non-Nix->General is not necessarily a technical forum, it can be open to any subject, however there's also not necessarily a web development forum. Perhaps the
Non-Nix->Programming forum might have been an alternate location for this question, now that you've indicated you had some serious concerns.
As you know you can click on the REPORT button to request a moderator move your thread.
Your original statement is rather open ended, "You saw a remark on a website, reference not given, and it said something."
People are free to write any original content they want and it doesn't have to be correct.
What were
your particular thoughts on this topic?
My opinion is that they seem to be fine with playing music or videos automatically since they so frequently do exactly that.
And I do not believe that web designers "hate" anything where they get paid to do it, simply put once they know how to do it, they can duplicate that easily and so as a result as a developer for hire, someone asks me to do a task which I know I can do, have done tons of times before, then I just do it and get paid.
To take this one step further, the web designers I know don't give half a thought about what is easy versus difficult, they're not the ones implementing a design, they just write down
what they want it to look like and the
developers are responsible to make it happen in code.
