Not particularly pleased about the decision when OpenVPN is the most supported protocol.

Meanwhile their competitor IVPN even does IPsec.

Yeah OpenVPN is often used for business reasons (e.g. by remote workers), so it's usually not blocked wholesale, only throttled (and known public VPNs providers and blocked via blacklisting their endpoints' ip addresses). Wireguard meanwhile is used much more rarely so there is less fallout from blocking it completely.
