Your comment is talking about profitability, the op is talking about product quality. These two don't necessarily correlate.
Your examples of people "not giving a shit" about things the OP says are important & Google/Meta boasting about AI use are all revenue driven; people in leadership roles commonly place company revenue over product quality, in which case they shouldn't give a shit about the OP's topic.
As an engineer / IC I care about product quality because that's what gives me personal fulfillment. As a founder I care about product quality because I entered into this enterprise to solve a problem, not to sell a solution. Many people do the latter (very successfully) & this article isn't for those people. But it's relevant to me.
