I've carefully read this a few times but I'm not getting the point. What the author wants to show?

Open source does not mean accepting everyone's work or even accepting contributions at all. From the article, it seemed like this was the major concern.
I found the part that said "yes open source provides transparency but we have a roadmap" a bit weird.
It's their product, so if they don't want to open source it then they shouldn't. No need to write a silly article with almost as many emojis as words.
I was thinking exactly this while reading the article. Open source goes further than external contributions.

How the author knows its website has hundreds of subscribers? AFAIK is not possible to identify subscribers to RSS feeds and counting hits won't help. Am I missing something here?
What kind of non-fiction?
So far I have tried with:
- Technical (software and maths) - Psychology and philosophy - Well-being and anthropology
Polyglot means not having to fight with marshaling overheads when integrating bespoke compute functions into SQL, or when producing input to / consuming the output from queries. This could radically change the way in which non-expert people construct complex queries and efficiently push more logic into the database layer, and open the door to bypassing SQL as the main interface to the DBMS altogether.
Vector processing means improved mechanical sympathy. Even for OLTP the row-at-a-time execution model of Postgres is leaving a decent chunk of performance on the table because it doesn't align with how CPU & memory architectures have evolved.
Thanks!
Honestly, I can't envision a near future where SQL is not the main interface. Happy to see the future proving me wrong here though!
Despite I can buy the arguments about how having a better data structure to communicate between processes (in the same server) could help, it's a bit difficult to wrap my mind around how Arrow will help in distributed systems (compared to any other performant data structure). Do you have any resources to understand the value proposal in that area?
Same for vector processing, would be great to read a bit more about some optimizations that would help improving Postgres leaving out pure analytical use cases.
