The "ethical motivations" section is out of place here. Its moaning about "money driven companies" (as though money were a bad thing), or "monopoly" (which does not exist in AI), just reflects badly upon the project.
However, I find it quite amusing (and perhaps "out of place") that the maintainer uses a gmail address.
It is a valid viewpoint to find money-driven companies as a “bad thing” (or more exactly, companies whose main goal is to maximize shareholder value).
Data is the commodity. There is nowhere else you can get good raw data about, say, what people were publicly discussing last week, except through Twitter, in order to guess the stock market. Much of that data is closed off or incomplete even through their API. There is no other option except to create another Twitter.
