It's possible to care about low stakes things and high stakes things simultaneously, and also to weigh in on things you don't care that much about, or in your case to care a lot about how much other people care about it I guess? Just don't comment if it's too low stakes to be a waste of time.
Im weighing in because your comparison of this to the "pls flair your pronouns" struggle session is bad because there are a lot of solid and non-transphobic reasons to think that "latinx" is a ridiculous term, not the least of which being that it's impossible to pronounce in Spanish and looks to solve a problem that has already been addressed.
And yeah of course Spanish speakers aren't a monolith but when you're talking about the language it makes sense to, uh, talk about the group of people who speak it? What other groups should we be talking about here?
To be honest, I think you've correctly identified that I have fallen for the poster's trap and gotten sucked into nonsense. At the end of the day, this is cringing about a thing that only English speakers do, anyway (so I guess the resolution to the grammatical issue is "it's an English word, not a Spanish one"), so I'm gonna check out.
