I don't know the ideology of 99.9% of the developers of the software I use. I don't want to know it. The license is all I care about.

It's like saying:

I don't care about morality, I only care about legality.

The world is full of assholes and it's not my job to pick a fight with every one of them.

Also, they're giving away free software. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

No, that's not similar at all. If you have to stop to consider the political opinions of everyone involved in anything you ever do, buy, use... You'll never end up using anything. Do you actually mean I cannot enjoy old art done in the past because the ones creating it probably had some shitty ideals, opinions or morals?

A shitty person can do something good. Accepting something good from a shitty person doesn't mean we need to share or support everything about that person. You can criticize one aspect of something and accept the good of the same thing. The world is not so black and white.

Edit: mind you, there's a case to be made when supporting something good means providing indirect support to something bad. But that is far from accepting you will use software from people with shitty ideas.

Yeah, I'm not going to verify all the maintainers of the software I use is vegan, believes in climate change, and left. While I believe the causes are just and important, not every moment is a time to align values and divide.

Congratulations, you're not an asshole. 🙃
