Because Anthropic has never claimed that code is free?

It's pretty easy to argue your point if you pick a strawman as your opponent.

They have said that you can be significantly more productive (which seems to be the case for many) and that most of their company primarily uses LLM to write code and no longer write it by hand. They also seems to be doing well w.r.t. competition.

There are legitimate complaints to be made against LLMs, pick one of them - but don't make up things to argue against.

Point still stands. If you are so much more productive and have some of the most expensive engineers in the world, why not write something decent

However there are many people out there making the argument that code is free or nearly so. I think the article is directed at them.
