One thing that this article missed is that CurseForge is not the only mod platform — there's also Modrinth, which bans most of the things mentioned, on this article.

Unfortunately modrinth just doesn't have the feature set and ease of use that curseforge does for creating, automating, and managing content. I don't like it either, but until someone steps up and dethrones them as THE way to get content, they are the best platform, at least functionally.

The result of a mod creator uploading to modrinth and not curseforge is simply that their mod will not be included in all of the popular modpacks hosted on curseforge, which is a death sentence for download count and income.

Curseforge is feature rich because the Israli Military paid for it to be developed most likely as Spyware.

Curseforge was developed by Curse and Twitch after their acquisition. Their ownership by Overwolf was after the app and website was already well established.
