If you think like this - and you are most probably right IMO as well - then you should somehow share GP feelings, because LLMs are made by companies like OpenAI and Anthropic and Bun was bought by Anthropic and ported to Rust by Anthropic.
TBH in hindsight it seems that the Bun acquisition was also for the PR stunt they just did with the Rust porting.
I don't because I think the GP is blaming the tech, not the actual culprit - a bit like blaming the invention of fridges for people hiding the body. LLMs can be made and hosted independently of OpenAI and Anthropic.

The events went roughly like this:
- Anthropic used Bun. So they acquired it.
- Bun made some LLM derived patches for Zig. They were rejected due to Zig no-LLM stance.
- Bun couldn't get patches in, so they switched to Rust.
Was it a PR stunt, an attempt to pressure Zig maintainers into changing AI stance, or just doing the fastest thing possible? It's difficult to tell. I'm inclined to believe the last option.
As easy as it is to blame Bun for a PR stunt, it's also possible that you can't really associate with someone who rallies against your employer/owner.
