There’s an entire paragraph midway through the article that explains it well. A similar sentiment is echoed in the post A reply to Josef Průša by Stargirl Flow

There’s an entire paragraph midway through the article that explains it well. A similar sentiment is echoed in the post A reply to Josef Průša by Stargirl Flowers, but this time in regards to Uli Behringer. This despite Behringer engaging in the historically progressive task of cheapening audio hardware by copying other designs and manufaturing and marketing them at scale (putting aside Behringer's litigious behavior). Stargirl calls this competition "parasitic", despite also citing the proliferation of Stratocaster clones and the benefit thereof to musicians.
