It bugs me, too. Nowadays, "An oral history of X" just means "We interviewed multiple people related to X, and here is a written article containing some of their quotes."
That's a lot different from what the Oral History Association describes in its principles and best practices, where the focus is on preserving sound recordings of interviews:

NYT is still a notch above "You wont believe the history..." or "Your jaw will drop when you find out about...", but they need some hook to make you curious.

#7What is the audience for this article? No, I don't have BB&B coupons (or any coupons) clipped to my car visor. No my mother-in-law doesn't have a folder full of coupons. I have no coupons at all. Was this originally published in some coupon-clipper magazine?

I'm the audience for this article. I upvoted it. I enjoyed reading it and seeing how they did what they did.
I'll read an article like this one to see if I can gleam anything useful from a sales or marketing perspective.

Ah! So they still exist.
I was just commenting on the OP bold assumption that we're all the same, even to the point of ridiculing my mother in law. A strange article.
