I don't find it clickbaity. Let me explain.

To me, clickbait means that I'm luring you into reading an article by using a catchy title, but the content of the article doesn't exactly match what I expected; or that I use human psychology to trick you into opening a new web page (e.g. "you will never guess what happened next").

I instead find the title refreshingly nice and simple, and reading the article fully matched my expectations. Great "marketing" (the ability to pick a catchy title is good marketing) shouldn't be confused with being clickbaity.
