And if I find out they're a Nazi, that's enough reason not to. And in this case there's so little friction and it's so simple to not use it, that it's a no brainer.
If I can avoid supporting a Nazi this easily, without altering a single noticeable thing about my life, it would be irresponsible not to.

There is a level of friction associated with changing anything like this for ideological reasons, and everyone has to have their own ways of deciding which ones are worth pushing against, according to them.
"Avoid the Nazi that puts out a slightly modified version of Arch," is just a no brainer. It takes no effort or energy whatsoever to avoid having that in your life.
