Look, a little snark never hurt anybody.
The fact is that you are being extremely pessimistic about whether this will work at all, when in fact it is already being used "in production," and most of the other things you are saying are not possible or very difficult I have already investigated and made similar assessments to the ones I made before I started this.
So all evidence points to you being largely wrong, and your supreme confidence that you are correct despite all the evidence to the contrary makes it quite attractive to have a bit of fun while trying to demonstrate where you are incorrect.
That's nothing new in open source, or even software development in general, where much worse like actual insults and derogatory comments are much more an unfortunate norm, and toxicity is often the rule of the day. Plenty of stuff that goes on (or at least used to) on the Linux kernel mailing list would get you warned and then banned from Haiku's discussion channels. But at the same time, there is a place for criticism, even strong criticism, in any healthy discourse.
