Yes. Every one is a slap in the face of users who value free/libre software for its part in preserving user privacy as well as autonomy. Granted, the Document Foundation is doing yeoman's work in producing a good tool, as opposed to the the parasites still clutching at the corpse of Open Office, but the developments with this foundation of late are increasingly troubling.

I do hope the leadership will realize, as ex-leaderships before have not, the value of respecting the community of users and the values they hold dear.

What makes them parasites? Is it just the fact that they don't spend their time and money on LibreOffice, the tool you get for free?

It's the fact they're still trying to milk the corpse of Open Office, which is a liability to users in oh so many ways ...

JUST LET IT DIE. Or get about fixing it properly - we don't care. Just don't leave it wandering the earth like a zombie threatening pain and destruction to everything it touches.

Cheers,
