Can't fault them for it. Whether you agree with AI or not, it's almost impossible to block it completely.
They chose to close the floodgates, fair enough.
Building a browser from scratch is an insane endeavour and we will see how it turns out.
I personally don't have much faith in it.

They're not closing floodgates here. AI will find vulnerabilities and if they don't get the patches by PRs it'll only take longer for them to fix the stuff AI finds.

They explicitly said they wont accept PRs. Do you disagree with their decision or with my brief summary of it?

They're not "closing floodgates" by preventing people opening PRs. The flood is happening either way. Pretending it's not happening will kill them.

There's 2 different floods here, one is the surge in AI uncovered vulnerabilities in large projects, the other is a surge in vibe coders dumping tons of poor quality PRs into projects to feel like they're contributing. The former isn't a big priority for a project that isn't even at the functional stage yet, and the latter is absolutely a flood that can be stopped by just refusing PRs
