Yeah, simply the playground of rich Americans instead of a piggy-bank for a corrupt government that executed political opponents and routinely jails dissidents.
Their formula does not disable libdvdread support, but their build from source process fails to detect it if it is otherwise installed. A build from the vanilla source tarball picks it up just fine. So this is not a "Homebrew decided to disable this option", it seems to be a "Homebrew's build process actively avoids searching for other installed software even when the authors of that underlying software enable support by default".
Our studio, Marquee (https://www.marquee.studio), has an in-house publishing platform called Proof (https://www.proof.pub) that we started back in 2012 which couples fully customizable editorial tools and content model, a headless CMS, and React/Serverless based SDK to compile static websites specifically for editorial and content marketing teams. An example that was designed by our team and managed through Proof that HN is probably familiar with is The First Round Review (http://firstround.com/review/).
It's a similar approach that Netlify has put together and works great. Can't advocate for it strongly enough.
This kind of hyperbole is exactly why we have the president we do.
