Disagree as much as you want, but assuming you're a user, will you keep using it? This isn't a whoopsie, or unexpected. As you pointed out, it will happen again. And it was always the safe, profitable choice for them - they're a for-profit business beholden to VC money, not a political organisation or community project like Mastodon/Pleroma/etc.
It's far easier to make that decision before they gain critical mass like twitter and reddit did.
