The survey asks which of the reasons is the most important one,
but one cannot choose the free-form “other” reason there, and
this is a mandatory field.

It’s even worse: the short link leads to:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1MqwfflwV7qKrfg75OHzfpy2MzbbyXmo8JINWS85A5N8
/viewform
Amazingly enough, the whole thing works with Lynx.
Totally negatively surprising, about half of the survey
is automatically translated into the native language of
the country Google thinks your IP address belongs too,
with no obvious way (in either Lynx or $gui_BROWSER) to
change the language. Well, not precisely surprising, but
still a definitive minus.
