okay, you can’t just make a comment like that without following up with a link or recipe or similar, that’s just mean...

I’ve only managed a couple times with an immersion blender, so I’m still figuring that out.

I think it’s an attempt to avoid dehumanizing them, by acknowledging they are people in a situation, and not merely their situation.
