People are all flawed. You can find faults in everyone. Overlooking these flaws is okay to a large number of folks as the product itself is amazing. The fact is that you're likely ignorant to the large number of products and services you use produced by folks with similar flaws.

"Faults" is covering a pretty wide range there. Let's get specific.

Are we talking about "so-and-so was rude at a conference", or are we talking about "so-and-so praises white supremacists and alt-right figures"? Some faults a little more tolerable than others.

Is your suggestion that no one care?

My suggestion is to not try to idolize individuals. Products should be judged independent of the individuals involved in creating them, especially when many individuals participate in their creation.
