Agreed, also:

>> The article began:

>>"Last year we upleveled our Private Browsing mode."

>> Sorry, "upleveled" is not a verb I've ever heard of, in decades of using the Web. Why are you beginning articles with made-up verbs that you know people aren't going to understand? Why not use standard, plain, clear English?

Just because the person ranting had never heard of it doesn't mean that uplevel isn't a verb; and I am not sure how their amount of time spent using the web would correlate to their grasp on the English language.

I wonder if the next step for AI companies (those in control of search, at least) will be to start refusing to index content from companies that have opted out, in an effort to sway their decisions.

That seems to be how a lot of politicians across the world tend to see the issues they cause, unfortunately.
It doesn't scroll at all, the body has overflow hidden by design.
