I think it’s important to distinguish the comments from the submission. I agree the comments are mostly repetitive, but the submissions do, in fact, cover newsworthy facts that should not be dismissed.
This is the forth or more piece about the EFF objecting to Apple's work.

Your question is valid. People out of the loop need a way to catch up.
I create this account explicitly because of this new feature. I've been posting constantly about it. If there's a new article on this I will try (and encourage others) to post such a summary as you did at the top of the article for anyone who hasn't been following.
Open to any questions you have about this from a "how do I catch up" perspective.
