I think the major disconnect here is between those who see a “/” sign and just assume that everything after it is in the denominator of the division expression.
And those who see “/” as a mathematical operation between expressions on either side of it.
The former force implied parentheses into their evaluation.
The latter do not.
That’s the way you see much of the argument play out.
Many re-write it like this...

It’s just not how the order of operations goes.
