So they think archive.today can be replaced with:

Replace the archive link so it points to a different archive with a copy of the source, such as the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive (web.archive.org), Ghostarchive (ghostarchive.org) or Megalodon (megalodon.jp).

Wayback Machine

No.

They think that relying on a hostile archive will ultimately harm Wikipedia.

They know the shortcomings of the other options.

i’ve not used the others are they not as good?

i’ll be trying them soon

It’s not that they aren’t as good, necessarily.

More that the others do less “grey-hat” stuff, and therefore are less likely to cause harm or alter the content they host.
