Luckey's political controversy makes a single appearance, amongst the higher-than-expected price, the platform lock-in, and the custom connectors, all of which are tied to the slow defection of developers from the platform, which has in turn resulted in a paucity of apps for the system at launch. No offense, but -- this being the hottest phase of an overheated election season -- I think your antennnae are a bit overly sensitive here.

The technical issues were discussed months ago when they surfaced, they're not something that happened last week or even last month. I'm 100% certain that the trigger for this article's publication is political disagreement.
