It's not disingenuous at all. Both consistently put additional power on the table every turn, so they are similar. You're trying to argue Convergence is unbeatable, but Koma might actually be unbeatable. See how the connection gets made there? And trying to knock the comparison because Koma is the biggest draft bomb since Dream Trawler, a card that's recent enough to still be standard legal? Wow... that's like saying this years new car is the coolest thing since last year's new car.

But the problem is that the Convergence is still too damn slow, and would be in a lot of other draft formats. It doesn't actually get you a body on the table until your next turn, so it's not stopping the opponent from killing you in response. This is also a format with a preponderance of ways to directly damage the opponent, including inflict which can be in parts of the color pie that normally couldn't do that. The format also has a metric ton of ways to make creatures unable to block. There's nothing misleading about the format, you get to see both of those things on multiple commons and you also get to see the endless sea of aggressive 2 and 3 drop creatures.

If anything fooled you it was your preconceived notions, not the set. You assuming that a certain card or strategy has to be great in one format because it is in some others is akin to walking into a kosher deli and assuming they'll have ham because other delis have ham. And next to Ulti, who goes on endlessly about his mana problems, I'm pretty sure you're the person that complains the most when new draft formats come out. Oh, you didn't like Forgotten Realms either because it doesn't draft like you expected it to? Surprise surprise.
