New blog article: opening the can of worms?

I happened to notice the new blog article "State of the Stack 2019": https://stackoverflow.blog/2019/01/18/state-of-the-stack-2019-a-year-in-review

It seems the "Powers that be" are still of the opinion that "women, people of color" and other, undefined groups are still being discriminated against. I have yet to see a clear statement as to how this can be shown, given that no such information is available in a question or answer, nor in a user profile unless the individual chooses to mention it. So frustrating...

Of even more concern to me is the statement:

Stack Overflow exists to help everyone who codes learn and share their knowledge.

That begs the question: what is the definition of "everyone who codes"?

Does it include those who copy code from somewhere, with no understanding of what the code does? Then expect others to modify it to fit their special needs?

Does it mean this is now "officially" become a tutorial site and/or free code writing service?

Where do we draw the line?
