More analysis from @wiredfire:
It’s nothing to do with [difficulties in using multiple platforms]. It’s to do with the massive backlash they got on Fedi for their CEO being all Trumpy and somewhat horrible right wing. So they’ve run away because they were made to feel unwelcome on account of us not letting their BS fly.

How is the CEO of the business that makes the product in question “random”? Regardless, supporting Trump in this day and age is support for all the very worst things. You’re way off base thinking it shouldn’t be influential, few things mean more these days.
To add, it’s a CEO with a lot less power than a normal CEO because of the Porton Foundation that’s above it. Some countries (like Swiss) also have more rules and regulations in place to keep people to help consumers
I care about the product feature set and price. Other considerations include environmental and societal impact as well as company billing reputation.
We should stop treating CEOs like celebrities
vpns are all about trust. there is none if the literal chairman of the vpn company is an actual fascist. escaping these people is the reason many use vpns in the first place.
