They made it open source. Are you just trying to be bad faith here? Isn't this what the community was asking for?

Reiserfs. A good example on how oss cannot save the product. There are others, but this is the first one that comes to my mind. If you use clearly unethical oss, are you just using oss or are you a part of the problem? Typically, oss purists take these into account.

How about stopping the upload of all the data

and running their data center with gas turbines without permission while they pollute the air

you can’t expect people to praise your for making an n+1 harness open source.

This seems more like, look we made something, now fix it for us

This is clearly a good-faith criticism and there is no lens in which I could see it described as bad-faith.

We see this pattern all the time: Someone makes a criticism of a Musk product, and someone assails that criticism with bad-faith accusations of it being "bad-faith".

Oftentimes, we see that the criticism is undermeasured and ligther than is reasonable, possibly anticipating someone who might accuse it of being "bad faith".

Maybe someone can put a name to this phenomenon but we see it all the time.
