I have a similarly mercenary and utilitarian POV as far as using products that personally benefit me. However, it's understandable that the idealistically minded prefer not to use/support enterprises they see as lobbying to degrade their pet issues - be that the internet, or the environment, etc. It's not any different than those refuse to engage with Amazon, Walmart, Hollywood, Chick-Fil-A, or subsidiaries of the Kochs.
