      Engine diversity absolutists need to describe what concrete benefits it provides that can't be achieved other ways in the medium-term (e.g., OSS forking, which has created huge divergence in the KHTML-lineage engines)

      In all complex value systems, we have a competing set of values and priorities. We can't debate the relative merits of an approach without at least an exposition of its benefits and costs. Hoping you'll engage beyond hot-quote-takes.

          The purpose of a system is what it does.

          Indeed. Engine diversity isn't a "thing it does", so we need to debate value to users and developers.

          Of course you can, and you have to; "an exposition of benefits and costs" assumes that the putatively competing sets of values are commensurable, which they needn't be and often aren't. Hopefully this will help satisfy some of your request for arguments: https://www.jstor.org/stable/4544663?seq=1 …
