As an author, I had my fair share of reviewers explaining to us how our ideas were practically irrelevant. Even for papers that addressed a concrete business need. Some people really have a very narrow view coupled with over-confidence. It's ok to speak from your experience but keep it modest.

Personally, as a reviewer, I tend to share suggestions if I have any. But I keep it modest and subjective. I try to avoid a patronizing tone explaining what the authors should have done. As AC, I do not add suggestions, but sometimes I might add encouragement to sweeten the bitter pill of rejection.
