That was actually a great article. For us, that is like a crowdsourced bug hunting program. We actually got duped ourselves, and we appreciate the author.
We added additional features for location hint modeling and selection for IPv6 networks. There are a handful of open engineering tickets to understand more about the entire internet infrastructure of the country. Of course, hosting a probe server out there would be helpful.
A very similar function was just added to Microsoft PowerToys 0.95 recently, called Light Switch[1]. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but basically does the same task, including switching modes automatically based on sunrise and sunset times.
Obviously, such mistakes have no bearing on the content of the report. However, there are usually certain expectations of a formal report from an official government bureau, including a standard of presentation.

The problem is the networking effect. Since so many people use iOS, even Android users often have to contact people on iOS devices, resulting in Briar likely remaining very niche.
Granted, a few of them are very large/populous like india, bangladesh, pakistan and ethiopia, but in the grand scheme of things iOS is probably more popular than you think.
Indeed, this is very much a limitation for all apps on iOS that don't want to rely on centralised services, such as a push notification server other than Apple's.
