Is the 1.0010101 just another sequence with similar properties? And this sequence with similar properties just behaves differently than pi.

Others mentioned a zoo and a penguin. If you say that a zoo will contain a penguin, and then take one that doesn't, then obviously it will not contain a penguin. If you take a sequence that only consists of 0 and 1 and it doesn't contain a 2, then it obviously won't.

But I find the example confusing to take pi, transform it and then say "yeah, this transformed pi doesn't have it anymore, so obviously pi doesn't" If I take all the 2s out of pi, then it will obviously not contain any 2 anymore, but it will also not be really be pi anymore, but just another sequence of infinite length and non repeating.

So, while it is true that the two properties do not necessarily lead to this behavior. The example of transforming pi to something is more confusing than helping.

Both looks bad. It's too many tattoos on one hand, and pretty scrambled a bad looking graffiti on the other hand.

It's a theorem. It's theoretical. This is like complaining about the 20 watermelon example being unrealistic: that's not what it is about.

Optimization died when hw limitations are less severe

Having everything on latest seems a very bad idea.
