I see this take somewhat often, and usually with similar lack of nuance. How do you come to this? In other cases where I've seen this it's from people who haven't worked in any context where performance or scientific computing ecosystem interoperability matters - missing a massive part of the picture. I've struggled to get through to them before. Genuine question.
