I actually think there are (at least) two root causes.
One is people who are somehow angry and take things off topic to rant. Those are pretty transparent and to me therefore, less troublesome. Since they are so far off topic, easily ignored entirely. Of course the OP gets a bit screwed...
The 2nd is people who,rather than give facts and reasoned advice, throw out "this product" (which is always their product, in which they are apparently invested psychologically?). Defensiveness ensues. And if someone brings reason and logic to such a conversation, hey are branded as [insert opposite of one's philosophy].
Kinda sad. I'd liek to see people establish the basis of their suggestion, with caveats, supporting ideas, etc. We could all then **learn**. But as Steve Martin said after spouting enlightenment in the midst of medievil medicine, "nah......"
