While this is true, "learning the biases of the researchers who built it" is a very misleading way of putting it, because it is still very unclear if and how certain design decisions impact the bias of the resulting model. Given that reducing bias while not giving up other desirable properties is a young and open research direction, researchers in general should not be faulted for using the current (imperfect) state of the art or for working on something that is not (yet) focused on bias.
