It's only rude to the people who believe that unpleasant things shouldn't be talked about.

I think the rudeness isn't about unpleasant things here. But using examples out of context.

I imagine if I had used AirBnB (a YC company) and their legal troubles as an example, it would be considered even ruder.

The reality is that an awful lot of companies today seem to be all about the benjamins in a way that isn't healthy for anyone. There is no nice way to say that and say "I would like to not pursue such a business model."

It's not unpleasant, it's just an incorrect premise.
