Was it important to say the country of origin?

The creator's context seemed like a good addition when I was writing my initial comment. Is it offensive or problematic?

It is not offensive, it is just pointless. I've never see people from USA write "I'm made XYZ App, made from a guy in Minnesota". I'm not from USA. But a lot of people outside USA, see the need to plaster it all over the place (Switzerland? Germany? Sweden?) their country of origin. Is the country an indicator of quality of a product? Is it supposed to convey anything to me?

Hey, I don't agree with "... made with Rust/Go/React/X" slogan too. It is just pointless.

Great, you don't have to agree, nor do you have to comment on it.

Yes, I want to know if that is an indicator of quality. Are AI from Sri-Lanka better than AI from USA? Could you tell me that?

No, it's probably not an indicator. You probably already know that.
