Haha, don't worry, I get that perspective. I was actually trying to do the opposite - I feel like the perspective you outline is the default one people will usually take, so I wanted to change that :P I think this article does a good job of that too: just because they're not perfect, doesn't mean someone actively doing some good deserves negative attention, when we don't give that same treatment to others who do less good.
That said, I'm not arguing that we should "be treating FUTO as a beacon of OSS support". I do actually agree with all of this:
If it wasn't for this article, I wouldn't actually be talking about FUTO. (Except in the context of Immich, where they actually are the main reason the project's doing well.) So I don't feel like we need to start negatively discussing them just because they're not perfect.
And don't worry about the downvotes, I don't actually care about them.
