Probably, as they were asking for it by doing their work in cultish style. If you want to change the world, you need people to accept the change you want to bring, and for that you must make it understandable, approachable for them.

Why would I need to put a lot of effort to be able to be part of a discussion which is seemingly not intended for me? If the ideas behind it prove to be useful, they will eventually resurface/be done by a more welcoming/industry standard way. Then it will be worth the effort. Until then if I want to waste my time on esoteric nonsense I go look at the Woynich Manuscript or read schizo larp on /x/. (Or just try to keep up with the SV JS scene where everything is reinvedted ignoring every industry standard ligo and is named crazily)

So what? There are lots of other project done on the same basis, and for most of them you don't have to learn a new dialect just to understand what their work is about.
