"what we can't measure"
curl's ambition is to do internet transfers right and securely with the features “people” want. But how do we know if we do this successfully or not?

The curl project is an independent Open Source project. Our ambition is to do internet transfers right and securely with the features "people" want.daniel.haxx.se
great question. How DO you measure a project like (lib)curl? Your post does a great job outlining the ambiguity of that.
Perhaps one thing that is easier to measure is developer activity? You mention GitHub stars but there is also issues, forums, social media, probably many more developer facing things?
I kinda hated writing this but I needed to do it.
Maybe now, finally, I can stop writing it in little fragments here and there, and just let it go and do something else.

> they are making a practical argument that I cannot, despite my best efforts, find compelling evidence to refute categorically
If you believe that the ethical problems trump the purported practical benefits regardless of whether those benefits are real, then that is a kind of categorical refutation. Perhaps that's a way to have a definitive resolution rather than the inconclusive surrender at the end of the post.
> to wit, I want to have everything in the computer be orderly and make sense,
This! In the Lobsters discussion about Steve Klabnik's post, he said that a lot of non-programmers are already comfortable with treating computers as magic boxes. I tried to push back, but I don't think he got it, and I haven't yet tried again.
> my quirky[21] constraints
Don't hesitate to characterize these as principled, carefully considered ethical objections. Sure, that makes us feel like a tiny minority in the current, noisy tech discourse. Whether we are such a tiny minority is debatable. One anecdote: My sister is a graphic designer, and she objects to genAI because of the energy use, the stealing, and of course, the deliberate intent to take away work from artists.
> Sure, I even sincerely agree, intellectual property really has been a pretty bad idea from the beginning.
Perhaps, just as we've had to, possibly reluctantly, move beyond the simplicity of free-speech absolutism because of the weaponized hate and disinformation out there, we might also need to move beyond the simplicity of "information wants to be free" because of the massive power asymmetry, which precedes genAI (e.g. megacorps exploiting unpaid open-source maintainers).

My daughter just sent me this picture from a DB train with the destination set to "Let's see where to"
And this somehow sums up the state of the german train system pretty well...
Perhaps only to be topped by "Let's see when" or "Let's see whether"...
