Except records are immutable and have getters and setters as builtins to replicate what we've been doing with Lombok.

So enforces what I was saying.

To be clear, Records don't have setters. They are immutable.
Yeah, sorry, typo.

Still they institutionalise getters, which is the opposite of what their argument was.

Well, they don't have "getters" either, they have accessors; x() instead of getX(). It's still bad, but at least it doesn't enforce JavaBeans conventions, which is where getters and setters actually originate [0].
