Which part? The second sentence is just my opinion, and you're free to disagree. :)
My point is that somebody will always find reasons for not wanting to read an article. Whether that's because they don't like the color scheme, font, or any other style choice. You can't please everyone with design. I think we can agree that that statement is objectively true.
So given that, a personal blog is the right place to do whatever pleases the author the most, instead of optimizing for metrics that impact engagement, or whatever nonsense KPIs developers are asked to optimize for in their day job. People interested in the content can always choose to consume it however they prefer instead (thankfully, the web is still open in this sense). In this case you can disable JavaScript, use reader mode, a custom stylesheet, or any other barebones browser instead. Considering this article is directed at a technical audience, any of these should work for you.
