I don't have a problem believing that Gitlab could be faster for an org's stack, at all. I do have a problem with you implying Jenkins is not-modern by saying "depends on your definition of modern". Speed is only one factor. It's not ok to lie and hide behind "our marketing is clueless about our tech."
