I've said this recently, but intelligence is domain specific. People just being generally "smart" is not a thing people should really care about.
It's not a matter of intelligence, these people just have different priorities.
If their priority is to make a nintendo emulator, they have to think about keeping their lines of communication secure against corporate legal threats, because those lines of communication are basically what software development is.
Sure, but they also need to be on a platform that people actually use. I agree that there are lots of reasons against Discord, but my point is, they didn't choose Discord because of a lack of intelligence.
