The rants are tiring, I think, because they're fighting some kind of (at least temporarily) losing battle and screaming for everyone to STOP DOING THE BAD THING when it's clear that they don't want to.
If Taco Bell decides to close their web site in favor of an app... well, a rant is going to change that, no matter how strongly worded. Blame consumer capitalism or PR firms or whatever.
It's frustrated prescriptivism. As a voice in the discourse, I suppose it has its value.
