There's a similar low sign on the on the Charles, Boston side, around Western Ave/Cambridge St.
Do people just go around

Do people just go around looking for things to complain about?
Not uncommon to see this

A misinterpretation of MUTCD guidance regarding sign placement. The standard is to place the bottom of the sign 7 feet above the road surface. Where multiple signs are on the same post, the bottom of the lowest sign can be 5 feet above the road surface, but only in areas without sidewalks or pedestrian activity. Looks like whoever put out the work order to install the signs failed to mention that.
Of course, is it really necessary to provide this sign at all? It's a minor city street, not an Interstate highway approaching an interchange.

Is that a new sign installed ahead of painting new lanes?
The marking visible in the background is a sharrow, not a bike lane symbol.
It's probably a bit further ahead

I don't really recognize which part of the street that is, but Faneuil St does have a bike lane on part of it, so it might just be that there's a sharrow and then the bike lane is a bit further ahead.
More than likely, the start of the bike lane

is just out of the photo, and not where the "corporal cyclist" marking is.
Would rather see traffic

Would rather see traffic enforcement rather than ineffective signage. Still get honked at when I yield to pedestrians and cyclists in a crowsswalk before making a turn. And still get honked at as a pedestrian when legally crossing in a crosswalk. Have witnessed the horrifying aftermath of drivers hitting cyclists in my neighborhood a number of times over the years. More useless signage does nothing except provide more visual distractions for drivers similar to illuminated advertisements which used to be non-existant but are now everywhere. Focus should be on dedicated traffic enforcement: when is that going to happen?
