> Their best move is to acknowledge that they don't care and do so with pride. Everything else just feels at best insecure and at worst somewhat disrespectful towards devs who care.

You put your finger on exactly what felt wrong for me when I read their post.

They are just trying to find reason to justify their art, while they have none and simply don't care.

I'm not saying it's wrong that they don't care, it's alright, but doing this kind of post is disrespectful for people who cares.
