You're not wrong, but I think you're missing the bigger picture.

The problems and associated solutions aren't just about being a heroic lead dev. They're organisational now. And so "grandstanding" has its place, especially when it comes to informing people about why they should consider organising together. You may be sick of their articles but many haven't read any of them and I'm not sure there are others out there trying to solve these problems at a system level.
