NOT


And yet you're talking about it despite replying to someone who clearly wasn't gatekeeping. They were offering suggestions.


You don't start a suggestion with "Why 74xx parts, other than nostalgia for an era that was over decades before he was born?"


I agree that they could have worded that sentence more nicely, but "gatekeeping" isn't the automatic opposite of "charming and polite", nor does it describe any and all negative feedback. It's a specific term with, you know, meaning.
