It *is* a small subset, but I don’t see what’s so surprising. HN is just an ordinary tech community; it’s not surprising for people from any tech company to show up there.

But... no-one mentioned surprise except you, did they? Something being uncommon doesn't connote being surprising, at least not always.
It's uncommon for me to have takeaway pizza, but I don't think anyone I know would be surprised when I do.
I'm pretty sure the subtext of what I commented on was that he was surprised.
Your friends probably wouldn't go out of their way to ask you why you ordered a takeaway pizza which is uncommon. But if they did ask, it usually means they were surprised.
