Nobody's perfect, and Linode clearly had growing pains. Can you point to anything in the past four years? If not, I'd give them another chance.

Why would you “give a chance” to a commodity provider that had no differentiation but does have a bad history?

They’re not really cheaper, their hardware isn’t better, and they’ve shown a willingness to toss security out the window. Doesn’t strike me as deserving of “a chance”.

Because they're a small, bootstrapped company in a tough industry, and I figure I should treat them the way I'd want to be treated?

I get that, but there's such a thing as being so open-minded your brain falls out.
