I like the content, but seriously I’m baffled as to how this is a science meme?

I would assume because it's related to educating someone about why optical lenses can give an incredible amount of detail that digital just can't compete with. But that's just a guess and that might not even be enough for this forum

What's a digital lens exactly?.. The only thing I can think of are in some point& shoot cameras and phones they have fake factorial zooms that are just cropping into the resolution.

i'm guessing it was a brain shortcut for a "digital zoom lens"
