The above user has spent the past few days doing nothing but astroturfing on this topic while failing to declare that they are or were employed by the company proposing the standard.

Your personal opinion may well be that ‘this is fine’ but by failing to declare that bias and having never posted much of anything else it is difficult to interpret your actions as a good faith contribution.

I am employed at Google, though not on Chrome or Ads, nor am I doing web development. I don't have any insights into WEI besides what is publically known.

I stopped declaring my employment because it's a hassle to do that on every comment when writing multiple comments. And no one else seems to disclose their biases in this discussion.

That said, I agree with you that I should have declared my affiliation. Apologies.

As many people here, I am trying to understand the implications of WEI. Of course I will challenge the mainstream opinion to advance my own understanding and hopefully those of other readers too. I don't think arguments should be dismissed based on affiliation.
