Um, does this guy realize that the dotcom boom was 25 years ago? The software field has grown exponentially bigger since then. Perl being "as popular as it was during the dotcom boom" (even if true) basically means that it's

Python is great for data science. Anything where you need to wrap a C library like BLAS, tensorflow, PyTorch, matplotlib, numpy. It's hot garbage for writing simple cross-platform utilities because of the need for an elaborate environm

Apple only promises to support devices for 5 years. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102772 They do sometimes end up supporting devices for longer than this, but you can't rely on it.

Your own link says that the GDPR applies when companies "offer goods or services" to people in the EU. That's why a lot of websites block the EU.

They don't want to be sued in the EU for releasing a model. One way to do that is by not releasing it in Europe. It's the same reason a lot of websites block the EU rather than risk being sued under the GDPR.
