HN is not a place where people post content made for HN (or at least it didn't use to be). Relevant links are posted. They get upvoted if they are interesting. Articles from many other fields like physics, cryptography, hardware design, crocheting, nuclear safety, farming, etc, are posted very often and can still be an interesting read for people not familiar with the subject matter. Finally, engineers have a wide variety of backgrounds, and I bet a good chunk can read math notation or drive a soil compactor - there is no "us".

They might not all be a good read for you in particular; the choice is yours to make an effort, or "move on" as someone else suggested. You're being downvoted because you are making it sound like you are entitled to an easier explanation, an hypothetical version of the article that caters to you in particular. There are many ways you could have framed your comment differently without that baggage.
