It's in the installer not the splash screen for christ sake. You'll see it a grand total of one time, maybe have a more easygoing friend install it for you?
The funny part is, he's already seen it and been offended. Cancelling the installation and deleting it is not preventing any future offense.
I aim to be pragmatic and principled.
What exactly is the principle at play here?
"Principled" is a rather neutral designation. All it means you have strict rules. As to whether those rules are at all useful is not included in that designation.
