The author is quite opinionated against ConTeXt/LuaTeX, knows only the 
HarfBuzz version and can’t appreciate an independent, complete OpenType 
renderer, it seems.

Different worlds, different audiences, different objectives so a waste 
of energy to discuss i guess.

I can only say that when we started with luatex there was nothing that 
fit the requirements (oriental tex sub project) so we decided to go the 
lua route and could always be amopng the first to support new stuff 
(color fonts, variable fonts, adaptations, etc). And I'm not even taling 
math in luametatex here.

But as said: we serve a different audience, not the applications and of 
course the tex community doesn't have the big-tech funding and resources 
so ... and we try to keep a low profile anyway.

The author is quite opinionated against ConTeXt/LuaTeX, knows only the
HarfBuzz version and can’t appreciate an independent, complete OpenType
renderer, it seems.

There is so much wrong with that section of the survey one does not know where to begin.

Will follow Hans' lead and not waste time or energy on public engagement with such uncalled-for polemics.
