I don’t think you have a point. You’re shaming people in a community who don’t give a fuck about your concern trolling. Calling out shitty organizations for shitty behavior in the loudest way possible is often the only way to enact change. There’s a distinct power imbalance between companies that have money and resources versus individuals in the open source community. Polite and firm are useless unless you have additional leverage.
How long ago? ROOT (and other frameworks like GEANT) using C++ has been the standard for over 15 years, but probably longer. I think my advisor was of the last generation that had to write in Fortran.

You’re imagining a future where screen resolution doesn’t improve and lenses can’t solve these issues? Are people really this short sighted?
You could easily create a package that couples the authenticated device with a screen showing the faked images and bring that around. If there is a market for inauthentic images that appear authentic, people will easily bypass this technology.
Just take a picture of your manipulated picture/video from the Sony phone. This does not guarantee anything of value.
The MOND crowd pops up every now and then and makes some noise in the dark matter community. Evidence we do have points us toward matter, which is why we have billions being spent on detectors through various governments and collaborations around the world.
I’m not sure what direct detection experiments are going to do once we hit the neutrino floor.
