I think you completely missunderstood his post, I'm sure he was pointing towards the "neutral heads" responses personally knowing he frequently visits Basshead lounge thread.
It's not really that weird to like some boost in the bass even for non EDM, hiphop or whatever listener. While I've got quite trapped these days into the hardstyle genre, before that I used to listen to almost any genre (well besides blues, reggae) and especially I can say genres like Jazz I thought did wonders with slight amount well controlled mid/upper bass to give the songs more body and thickness without ruining clarity. Q40 that has up to 8dB peak bass boost does very well with Jazz to my ears with the up-front female vocals and nice warm body from the bass hump, makes for a more soothing listen for me that I find more engaging and immersive to listen to as a result over a perfectly "neutral" response (more boring, doesn't engage me as much, I just hear the music but tend to not be able to connect with it).
It comes a lot down to why are you listening to music? Personally while I HEAR music I listen to FEEL it, get a feeling of some sort, that's when the enjoyment arises, not when analyzing it hence a neutral detailed response isn't something I personally reach for since a too analytic sound can be even disruptive to my goal with music listening. Besides listening for emotions I also enjoy when I like "connect" / engage with the music, the feeling of needing to sing-along, do foottapping, headnodding etc which for most genres the colored sound will help me out with.
If you belong to the crowd who enjoys hearing as much details and neutral response as possible I understand you might not appriciate the extra bass though. I'm just trying to say here, we listen to music with different goals in mind. Assuming everyone listens the same way is when the problem arises.
