I mean I could've easily seen it as DFW's ultimate attack on the reader's repulsion towards embarrassing, mushy, self-help-y un"cool"ness

Hes pointing out the ridiculousness of those who try to "fix" people. That the type of person who would say something this corny feels that they are the type of person not only capable of fixing people, but also deserving of notoriety for their actions.
