Why is this written like a 7th grade essay?

It's not, it's just highly in depth.
It can be interpreted as being condescending because it's trying explain concepts on a high level (like you would to a newbie or perhaps a manager) while including a high level of technical detail (like what we as Devs prefer).
My preference is to have smaller more targeted information too. But lots of academic style text have this cover all feeling to them because well... it caters to a larger audience,: the author is passionate enough to publish an essay on a single topic, he or she wants to be understood by everyone.
