As I added in another comment, I misunderstood the DHH element of the discourse as I, admittedly, don't know much of anything about him -- I've heard some references here and there, but that's about it.

Taking a stand against things like this causes change for the better in the long run.

That's also fine, and I generally agree. My concern basically boils down to killing momentum by sinking a company with (probably?) sane views on right-to-repair & libre as topics.

If the goal of a boycott is to starve the company until it goes under, because they made a move we don't like -- then that I don't really like in this context. If the goal is to force their hand towards at least transparency, or maybe force NP to step down; then I'd support that.
