I tend to agree with you, but it's good to remember that Bazzite isn't a person, it's a project. Furthermore, it's a project with very little political power. If they shut down tomorrow, the powers that be wouldn't even notice; they can't strike or demonstrate, and shutting down operations would only affect gamers (the same would virtually apply to all the Universal Blue projects).

If they went the route of fighting a protracted legal battle, they'd spend a lot of money on something they would not be guaranteed to win.

I get the desire to want to have a definitive answer, but they are just as much a victim as we are, and they have less political power than we do. They have no weight to throw around; frankly, it is up to us to defend them.
