By not coming out openly and explicitly criticizing the US security services for their anti constitutional and blatant authoritarianism Redhat has demonstrated which side it is on. It has no qualms enabling and supporting this behavior and is not a principled member of the free software movement. Something for which it has yet to be held to account.
Given the movement against Trump is exactly against this kind of authoritarianism the lack of scrutiny of tech companies like Redhat, Palantir and others is hypocritical. By not speaking out you are supporting these actions.
The fact that it is an absolute pain to configure and representative of a user hostile software model makes it that much more easy to avoid even for those with more practical considerations.
