Sorry but the comparison doesn't hold up, Nate Graham works for KDE and his blog lists the contributors of the various changes.
Daniel works for Canonical, not Gnome and the only changes mentioned are his.

I use gnome, and I don't use magnifier so this change isn't really improvement for me. Thing is, the train of overhaul gnome performance improvements is long gone, it improved significantly until 3.38, now it's mostly fixes of created mistakes made along 40 in gnome-shell. No groundbreaking performance merge requests. But, there is significant work done in gnome-settings or gnome-software which is worth highlighting.
These days gnome just works, and there are actual people that make it worth using.

I am visually impaired as well and I also have to rely on full-screen desktop zoom, especially when using a laptop. Of course, even if I do use a magnifier in my laptop, I dislike that the laptop's screen is fixed to the keyboard, so I cannot move the screen closer to me without bending and hurting my back in the process. Laptops are cool, but because of my visual impairment, if I have to use the screen to read, I simply do not like laptops.

This is great news! The alternative would be that nobody fixed these issues, so with that said a big thank you to Daniel is deserved!

Then I saw other answers, like "is it because it deals with performance" really? and to those who care about security what should we do to them, a monument?
Or "it is a little unfair, but after all there are so many unfair things" which is a bit like saying everyone steals so I am only entitled to steal too! You are fantastic.
