Why is this article so ridiculously politically charged? Is it impossible to just report on the blunder without having to bring up Biden, left/right, slave own

Why is this article so ridiculously politically charged? Is it impossible to just report on the blunder without having to bring up Biden, left/right, slave owners, yada yada yada? Or does Techcrunch realize they don't have anything interesting to add to the conversation so they just add a bunch of unrelated politics BS to juice up engagement? I understand this is a political topic, but this article takes it to overdrive for no reason.
