> Why are there so many articles by writers telling other people they should be writing instead of telling them why they might or might not?
I guess it's a "better" title in a sense that it gets people to read (ie clickbaity)
A "pros and cons" article vs "here's why you should do X" elicit different emotions, which I'd argue, the latter is better for attention grab.
But I do agree with you though, when someone asks me for advices, I always try to give them context.
I also try to understand where the "advisor" comes from when I see radical advices out there. Even if I don't agree with it, at least I can understand the reason behind it.
