The OP's comment does specifically make a reference to the video. That's all he's talking about:
I mean, it doesn't matter, he's obviously referencing things in it, if you watch the video this is obvious. He's directly responding to things said in it.
I have lots of caveats to "you have to start somewhere". You're either trying to accomplish something or you aren't. If you want to fix the compatibility issues you can either do something that works or do something that doesn't work. Doing many things that don't work doesn't necessarily get you any closer to doing a thing that does work. Instead of making an empty gesture I'd rather find an actual solution. It's not useful to take a principled stance that is not a solution to make myself feel like I'm doing something or to cope with the inconvenience.
"The best thing you can do about games not working is decide not to play those games" is great for you as a way to feel that you're not playing the games that don't work on purpose, but it won't fix the problem for people who migrate and it will do nothing to get more people to migrate despite the issue. I'm not particularly interested in posturing for the sake of it.
