So, blatant inaccuracies aside, this doesn't change the fact that he quite literally did speak up about it, well before your toddler-esque "if he doesn't say exactly this then he's against us" rant.
The fact that he said something to begin with is already a step in the right direction. What you're asking is unrealistic.
Dude... Their doctrine is all over the place haha. Like, everyone knew that the garments were all about "modestly", and yet with the recent release of tank-top style women's garment tops, they're all claiming that "it was never about modesty teehee". Fucking gaslighting bullshit. Same with rated R movies. Some leader somewhere stated that members shouldn't watch rated R movies, and somehow everyone took it as literal gospel, despite it not being written anywhere.
Mike Lee is a full-blown Mormon, which heavily frowns upon porn in any form (including literal prophetic teachings calling women "walking pornography"), so he absolutely does have porn on his devices.

Considering the article specifically mentions Japan, and that typical Japanese work culture is quite literally the opposite of what I've observed, I think this is very related.
Heh, I've seen this personally. I work for a Japanese company, and part of my job is coordinating tooling installations with the factory I'm stationed at (pick a chip fab in the US, I've probably been there). When we get a tool onsite, I get an install team directly from our factory in Japan who handles all the physical installation aspects. They work hard, efficiently, and with the utmost care for the finer details (some of these tools are expected to last 20+ years - we have a few that have been in production for nearly as long with very little fuss). Occasionally, they will finish their tasks early the last couple days and take off after lunch, letting me know of this beforehand and that their daily reports will be sent to me and other relevant managers at the "usual" time, with a wink and a nod.
I don't care how much time they clock, as long as shit gets done properly. Haven't had any issues.
My employer required me to get mine (every employee, not just me). They paid for it, so I'm not complaining. My wife also decided to get hers as well, and then trump dropped the voter identification bullshit EO. What timing.
US on track to becoming the dumbest country on the planet.
We're already there, have been since at least WW2. The boomer generation had literally everything handed to them on a silver platter, they took it and pulled the ladder up with them.
