That is their sole purpose, but there's a different between a) drawing attention and b) sensationalizing/whoring/cheapening. That's probably why he's whining. I myself don't take it issue with it, but I also don't really pay attention to stupid titles like 'Good design is a cupcake'. I've started to filter out clickbait.
I hate it because its almost BuzzFeed territory. ie: "Gorilla learns to drive, you won't believe what happens next".

Why do people whine about headlines? Their sole purpose is to get your attention, and voila, in some form it worked. If I hadn't already read the article in question I'd go and look it up and probably read it, and voila, the headline worked.
