"Rather, this is presented as a vehicle to advertise our needs from C++ as a high-performance systems language."

I read it as as "We understand that this isn't what everyone wants the committee to adopt, but this is what we want the committee to adopt."

The first paragraph of the abstract:

"This paper describes the goals and priorities which the authors believe make C++ an especially effective programming language for our use cases. That said, our experience, use cases, and needs are clearly not those of every user. We aren’t pushing to directly build consensus on these points. Rather, this is presented as a vehicle to advertise our needs from C++ as a high-performance systems language."

I would say they are quite transparent about that...
