You’re not wrong, but what an IDE does when opening a project directory is an issue with that tool, and not one directly addressable by the maintainers of the dependency management tool.
The more direct comparison would be whatever the equivalence of “npm install” is for a given language, and what it allows to run. Sounds like they’re making good progress to fix that, but it’s certainly more than a popularity issue.

While they want you to believe that, there’s no correlation between being rich and being best, or even good, at anything. You’re not the best athlete because your mom and dad were the best athletes. But if your parents were wealthy, you’re wealthy.
If they want standards to be applied ”consistently”, great. They can start by paying their taxes.
Not sure why that matters, but OpenFGA is an implementation of Zanzibar, which isn't exactly new. There are many similar implementations to choose from should one want to model authorization via a graph database.
Bundle servers provide a centralized "data plane" decoupled from the distributed component (OPA). You don't need to rebuild your policy any time data changes. Just push a new bundle with the data that changed, and OPA will fetch it as configured — either periodically or directly if long polling is configured.

Yeah, simply stating that they aren't yet at GA status seems pretty uncontroversial. Gotta start somewhere though :)

Right, that was pretty much the point of the article.
Certainly! Application and microservice authorization is probably one of the more common use cases for OPA, and there's definitely benefits in having a unified policy engine in an organization or company.
Right, my response was primarily to the claim that “there are so few multi user machines in existence”.
As for trust, there are probably few, if any, attack vectors more common than privilege escalation, so I’m not sure I follow that line of reasoning either.
