Please don't respond to a bad or provocative comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.
Telling someone that they've "complained about a lot of things" or have "deliberately made this as hard as possible on [themselves]" is against HN's rules and guaranteed not to land well, regardless of how right you are or feel you are. Your comment would have been just fine without those bits.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
