That doesn't look at all like a language barrier problem. That looks like Lennart understood perfectly well, that usage of the pool is conditional on registering a vendor pool and that he has perfectly sound reasons not wanting a systemd vendor pool. And note, that the main Maintener of the NTP pool agreed with his reasoning.

I also somewhat agree with Lennart, that the reasons Google give don't really apply.

However, I also agree, that they shouldn't be used nevertheless :) Luckily, as I understand it, there seems to be somewhat of a concensus to not put a default and instead have fail the build if nothing was ./configure'd.

They're Google's servers. If they aren't meant for your use they can ask you to stop using them without any reason at all. The fact that they provided reasons at all is simply to inform people how they're systems are not going to operate normally.
