If you really want to get upset about something going on in open source / open data space, I would suggest considering Niantic.
After years of refusing any communication with #OpenStreetMap, not to mention -any- kind of support. Niantic joined the Linux Foundations @linuxfoundation Overture (for substantial amounts of money), but its customers continue to vandalize OSM, burning lots of volunteer time at multiple levels.

Today in labor history April 28, 1919: Anarchists mailed 36 booby-trapped packages to enemies of the working class. Inside each package was a 6” x 3” block of hollowed wood filled with dynamite. Their targets included U.S. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, because he had been imprisoning and deporting anarchists and union activists, including Emma Goldman. Other targets included J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
