This is pure clickbait and really doesn't leave a good impression of this team. Writing a whole article implying they're not being indexed because they are a Github Copilot competitor when they, themselves, don't believe it is farcical.

Title:

  We compete with GitHub. Bing does not show our website
FTA:

  Now, is it really because we compete with Github? Honestly, probably not, but controversy drums up interest and we need interest so that someone out there on the Internet can tell us what we're doing wrong. [...] we only care about getting as many software engineers to experience the power of generative AI for software development via our free product.

If you came from a nation that never gets snow. You practice in a simulated environment with the bobsled, go to the olympics and participate, did you compete?

Competing doesn't mean top of field. It might just mean making enough to eek out a living.

I understand the sentiment and why it might come across that way, but we genuinely have gotten a lot more reasonable pointers in these comments than we were able to rack our brains about. And it seems like SEO attacks, Bing incompetence, and Bing actually going after some terms (like Chrome) actually have happened, and the main point here was that we genuinely don't get any feedback from Bing.

So the ends justifies the means?
