I was trying to think on the history of this feature, since i wouldnโt necessarily count something like AvP's heatvision mode. That's meant to simulate a real thing, even if it works a bit gamey, by highlighting active objects.
Assassin's Creed is the game that, for me, codified the mechanic into it's current form. Hawk Vision or whatever they called it specifically highlighted game objects. I think they even mention that the animus machine is projecting that view to help Desmond see the world how his ancestors would have understood it.
But... I'm going to call the origin as being way farther back. In flight sims, your targeting hud can highlight enemies and targets by drawing little boxes around them. That is the very first instance I can think of where a game highlighted objects of interest for the player's benefit. Most flight sims (or adjacent genres like mech sims) would also label the box with the name of the thing, sometimes with health, ammo, weapon, or weakpoint indicators as well.
I got suspicious around the mention of "Vietnamese Stalinists" but fully checked out by the time I got to "Ukraine is a US backed puppet state for waging war on poor innocent Russia." If you aren't calling out authoritarian regimes regardless of ideology then you're just another propagandist trying to justify their regime's crimes.
Who's that supposed to be? Must not get up to the Cloud District very often!
I like their logo of a dude thinking really hard on the shitter, very philosophy.
That's a cool board. I've been thinking about something in similar form factor, kind of missing old slide phones with physical keyboards. The idea of building out little mesh devices for a local emergency network is quite interesting. Maybe with a few supernode base stations built around RasPis to act as data-storage/relays/service-providers...

Wouldn't silk be Animal though? Are worm by-products vegetables? Were plant fiber parachutes a thing?
