"Customers don't want it" is surprisingly difficult to understand for a lot of companies nowadays. Vivaldi must be run by some sort of language genius.

It's a private compnay, they don't have to follow shareholders so it explains it

Shareholders want the line to go up, currently AI is a thing that makes that happen, long-term effects be damned.
