Political points for its author. Because factually, it is crap.
Where is "the exclusion of underrepresented people in technology"? Providing high-quality software for free, that is inclusive for poor people (both the poor people in rich countries, and the average people in poor countries). A lot of free software supports localization anyone can contribute to, which is inclusive for speakers of minority languages (instead of having to write your own software, or petitioning a huge corporation, you just download a text file and translate a few lines). Free software can be used by everyone, black or white, male or female, heterosexual or homosexual, cisgender or transgender, whatever; all code is available for all people.
Somehow this all means nothing. What we need instead is to make sure there are not too many white cishet guys contributing to all this stuff. Now people whose only contribution is bringing conflict are kicking out those who contributed code, in their free time, for the benefit of everyone.
