So I don't know why you want to defend turning requests for help into criticism, but it is stupid. Even when it was 100% clear what was being discussed, no one gave much help. This is the same basic STI lever Shimano has made for 30 years.
At worst it was Grumpus saying something and what I read wasn't that bad if at all. My issue is instead of just helping which you are so intent on it is the need to point out the slightest thing that could be construed as negative. This is the internet if your skin is so thin that the slightest breeze might take it off then it is not a good place for someone to be.
It is not the same lever they have made for 30 years but close enough. They have made quite a few refinements over the years. Sora used to have a thumb lever which they haven't in quite a while also you had an externally routed cable which they stopped doing (except maybe tourney if they still make those Tourney STIs).
