People aren't criticizing the development philosophy in this subthread. This has been done by the article itself and by several people before.

What people are criticizing is the approach in pushing this philosophy into the ecosystem for allegedly personal gain.

The fact that this philosophy has been pushed by a small number of individuals shows this is not a widespread belief in the ecosystem. That they are getting money out of the situation demonstrates that there is probably more to the philosophy than the technical merits of it.

This is a discussion that needs to happen.
