Doesn't change the point. Also doesn't refute the point.

  The original suggested "Gatekeepers who hate open access." The example was actually a Gatekeeper who values peer review before publication.

    Arxiv is open access prepublication, and doesn't remove the need for peer review to get into actual journals. If you apply for a grant and you say "I was published on Arxiv" you are not getting that grant. Additionally, Arxiv won't kick you off their platform if you post a preprint there, and then you get published in Nature. In other words, the reason it does not change the point is that Arxiv does not weaken the publication process for the actual journals the preprint will be submitted to. You still need peer review to get published and you are still incentivised to do just that. You could argue 'preprints ARE publishing' but I'd need to be convinced of that point because I don't agree for the reasons stated above.
