Since you're not picking up on a social subtext, "we should not listen to them" here means "don't be influenced by them" or "don't take their words as granted". In other words, we should be skeptical, not literally shut them out.
I see an interesting schism in the discussion - there are two camps here.
One is normative: listen to tech CEO's if you want to predict what will happen.
Another is positive: let CEO's tell you what ought to happen.
What happened here was the original commenter talked about listening to Reid for normative reason but the conversation got derailed into ignoring CEO's for positive statements.
This is something I see often where one talks about what would happen but people barge in to signal their ethics and morals instead.
You say “mainly missing Safari and Firefox”, but the better way to look at it is “only Chromium”. There is only one implementation, and the other two major implementers have explicitly rejected it. And we don’t standardise things without at least two implementations.
Oh I didn’t mean at all charging them. I mean licensing in the sense of granting rights for the purpose of training. Probably most labs would be fine adding the language to the training for free as long as the dataset quality is high and it improves the results. But yes, pay them if that’s what it takes for them to use it.
