TL;DR - Duke is dropping Basecamp due to 37 signals policy of people at work focusing on, you know, writing software that provides customers value, while having a policy that ppl at work not be spending their work time on causing distractions with ideological side-quests.

It sounds like they're actually dropping it because of DHH's ideological side quests.
"people at work focusing on, you know, writing software that provides customers value, while having a policy that ppl at work not be spending their work time on causing distractions with ideological side-quests"

The mission of DEI is exactly the opposite, so it should come as no surprise they hate this stuff.

If they are willing to sacrifice education and research on their altar, you think they would blink an eye on killing off productivity software in their eyes created by blasphemous hereticts?

You should read the actual article because it's clear you didn't.
