In all seriousness, while I think the guy is overreacting, he does have some good points. In many cases 4X games have too much micromanagement to appeal to a large audience. If this guy thinks that he can make a 4X game that will appeal to the general public and still get us electronic Grognards to play it, then more power to him. I'd love to see a grand strategy game with simple controls and no micromanagement. Star General and Spaceward Ho were pretty good attempts in that direction, so was Star Control 1 (which to date had the third best galactic map in any sci-fi game I've ever played, right behind Mankind and Ascendency).
