While that is technically true I have always thought hn as a mere place to find interesting content. Of course many of us, me included, dream about finding someone who pays millions for our code. But the attitude towards businessmen is generally hostile here and for a good reason. They can't make things and they aren't even interested in making things, and overall they are more often than not just lame and boring. They are interested in making money, ripping people off, being leeches, extracting every possible penny they just can. Weird geeks are what the hacker culture is all about and politically correct c-suite suckers can go pound sand.
UNIX is proprietary too, and also a kinda large monolith. UNIX philosophy or UNIX way is just the standard lingo to describe using many single-purpose (usually command line) programs to accomplish your task, there's nothing more to it, so this AI tool definitely is UNIXy in this way. I'm not old enough to even remember if that was how folks even actually used UNIX systems most of the time back in the days, but it doesn't really matter, that's just how we talk these days.
I really think Context is the correct starting point if you want to make your own thing with the Tex quality. So many people frustrated that Latex makes it kinda hard to customize things and I was too. There is a learning curve to use the advanced features of Context but at least it feels like a sane system (and generally no need to add packages, the power to change the style of your document is fully granted to you).
My general advice here for you and many others in this thread would be to switch to Context (or even Luametatex if you really want to make some truly crazy stuff, basically it's just a newer and more experimental version of Context) if you are not happy with things and like to do your own customizations and don't bother becoming a TeX wizard. Latex is super if you are fine with the template you are provided or you absolutely need some obscurish package, otherwise Context is similar enough and bending it to your will is pretty much how it's supposed to be used.
