This site feels like this it's made by people that misunderstand games and genres and can't stand the concept of live service games which surprise takes money to run.

Saw one where powercreep is considered unhealthy ...if you played a competitive card game without power creep you'd quit because the first meta would be the only meta. Controlled power creep is healthy for game longevity.

I would not consider SaaS healthy. When it comes to games it is straight up drug dealing.
