What's the connection?

Also, take a look at this response from 2021:

"Like I said earlier, it was always the intention that we're not going to be able to work on it full-time... [I]t was intentionally designed for this kind of sporadic development.

It is a tool to get started and get something running fast. Perhaps, it's not even best at that anymore."
