It's so funny that this doesn't affect you at all but merely making the platform more accessible "significantly impacts" your loyalty.

Doesn't that mean your loyalty was conditional anyway? You are ready to jump ship if anything you don't like changes, even if it doesn't have anything to do with your system. Some loyalty.

the generous interpretation of their comment is that their loyalty is predicated on an understanding of shared values; if it transpires that the values are not, in fact, shared, then their relationship may require re-evaluation.

Depending on PoV, you can consider incorporating non-free stuff as making it less accessible.
