That, and the fact that they are giving away their knowledge and experience to anyone who wants to listen. (Plus repackaging it and selling it to anyone who want to pay for it.) Anyone who doesn't appreciate that can simply not listen to them — it's an odd request for anyone to ask people to stop publishing stuff on their own website.
