Pierre Rochard's reply goes hard (although, Pierre goes on to defend saylor quite a bit, which I find surprising).
Wrapping a fundraising pitch with a tedious strawman argument is bold.

There is probably some truth there, but I think its a little too hard.
There is no reason why both can't be true - John sincerely thinks more development is needed and thinks Saylor's approach would work better focusing on that.
Having said that: I think this past few weeks (ie. Bybit hack) has shown that Bitcoin has been very wise to not add too many "smart contract" features to the code. That combined with very very low fees / empty blocks seems like there isn't much push for new features at the moment.....

Even so, the building he refers to here is building competing implementations (non Core). There is a very reasonable argument that this sort if building is desperately needed in bitcoin. So I do agree with you.

competing implementations (non Core).
Great point. I do agree with that!
