That seems like an implausible explanation for a comment trying to make a political issue out of two disjoint things: a package manager design flaw and an editorial control policy for package names. "Publishers" having a level of interest in what goes out on there platform is as old as anything, and so is flawed software design.

So I stick by my stance that it seems like tying to try those things together ("you screwed this up because you're morally in the wrong as shown by your focusing on the wrong things") to advance a personal political agenda is the more bullying behavior, here.
