basing on those UI screens, then why research is always associated with academia?

there's a lot of strong people especially in CS who do not work with academia and still work on interesting stuff

[leephillips]

Absolutely. The limitation to people associated with academic institutions is pretty old fashioned (and also, from another point of view, modern).

Maybe it has to do with control. Student==likely low impact. Faculty==likely uncontroversial. API==looks like transparency.
