I can't disagree. But as one facet among others, I also think "concern" is reasonably warranted in conducting a comparative assessment.

Edit: also worth highlighting: "there's nothing wrong with being against gay marriage because it's a political opinion" is certifiably homophobic. How much responsibility Kagi's moderators bear for not removing that comment or otherwise explicitly advising that homophobia won't be tolerated is debatable, but it's not great.

Affiliation with Brave and, therefore, Eich is relevant and deserves to be mentioned in the interest of potential users. I just think the way the author extrapolates their own opinion of that comment into an implication that "Kagi allows blatant homophobia on their forums because of company bias/their affiliation with Brave" to be really misleading and underhanded.
