Thanks ! the article is trying to explain several other papers like the Product Quantization paper which was peer‑reviewed in IEEE but i totally agree.

yeah, my read is most production users stay on CPU and if they need heavier/faster workdloads in they might often move toward managed vector services like pinecone, mongodb atlas, or pgvector, and attention follows usage. Also FAISS came out of FAIR's team in Paris, Meta’s recent massive reorganization and layoffs which splitted FAIR's team likely have an impact in its maintenance.
