There's a difference between generic and abstract. In this case the user story is written very generic, not abstract.

A user stories can be generic as this will solicit talking to the customers, users, stakeholders or business-representatives like marketing, sales, etc. The user story can be a start of a conversation, that's the main reason user stories can be vague and generic.
If there's no way for developers to properly communicate with any of those people user stories, and scrum in general isn't not the methodology you should use.
