If you rather like a reactionary video commentary to the article from The Primeagen: https://youtu.be/IxYN7DKefmI or watch on Invidious, a privacy focused web YouTube client without using YouTube directly: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=IxYN7DKefmI

A commercial no-brainer means it makes such financial sense that even someone with no brain would make the same decision.
For $100/year subscription, it has to save something like 2 hours of dev time per a year for it to make financial sense.

It doesn't mean that anyone gets to switch off their brain
