You are misinterpreting what he wrote.

"We go through all of the above to finally..." means "We read everything you wrote before finally reading that you have dependents"

I am interpreting what he wrote in exactly the same way as you.

There's a fellow hacker stranded in a bad place (unless the whole thread isn't just ChatGPT fishing for mentally concerned people to meatpuppet, or, more generously - learning about how humans react to fellow humans in dire straits) and the parent poster is whining about being made to read a thing.

Got it .. looks I misinterpreted your interpretation.

It is mentioned on The Grapes of Wrath wiki page
