You’re right. They didn’t bother.

They did bother to do the thing they loved doing - the thing of value - and didn’t bother doing the boring thing. Instead of finding it within yourself to offer some thanks or encouragement you find an unimportant “blemish” to pile on. If that ain’t virtue signalling I don’t know what is.

It’s also an emphatic reminder of the truism that you just can’t please some people.
