Finally, a goddamned academic! Fist pump to Robert Sharf.https://twitter.com/Sciamanoinglese/status/1145704889131003904 …
Fair enough. But that also reflects Buddhist modernism, which decontextualizes it by removing it from its rich interactions with (e.g.) Brahaminical, Jain, Carvaka, Daoist, Confucian, modern scientific, etc., modes of thought and action

Non-buddhism most definitely does not decontextualize Buddhism "by removing it from its rich interactions with" anything. One cardinal rule of non-buddhism is to leave Buddhism as it is. Brahaminical, Jain, modern scientific, etc. inflections just become more data for the theory

Again, non-buddhism is a theory of Buddhism. It is not a reformist court of Dharmic adjudication.
