Do you really believe developers have exactly zero moral responsibility to their users? None at all?
Really?
Would you still believe that if you found the developers of ssh deliberately included a backdoor for hackers, or neovim was uploading everyone's code to the NSA?

This issue with Neovim sounds like less than ideal design, or a bug, or both, not some kind of intentional affront to users.
