I don't think I understand the ask here. Author's claim is they're concerned about corporate ownership of the languages but the examples they cite of concrete issues is the system "phones home." Well, so does Python every time I pull a pip package in. So does every package manager.

Is there an implied "I don't trust the phone-home features of package management systems supported by corporations" that doesn't apply to non-corporate-supported development ecosystems? Why is that?
