Did she? I know she stopped going to tech conferences, but I never saw anything about her saying she wanted use of the image to end?

This is very fair, to respect someone's wishes with regards to how their image is used. I'm sad to see this comment (at the time of posting) be downvoted.

It doesn't imply guilt on the author of this interesting article or others who used this image without knowing her wishes or anything. I don't understand the response.

In 2021, she didn't.
