Could you explain the motivation for avoiding these? Are they run by the government? Is there a risk that they will be? If not, why exactly should I have a problem with Russian software developers?

The Russian fascist state runs mostly on taxpayer money. Hence, as an individual, you can contribute by not funding them.

Less money spent on Russian products = less money going to modern Nazis. It's that simple.

Most people don't really care, but if you do, there are plenty of non-Russian alternatives (which should be quite obvious).
