So to rephrase in terms of a subsidy, not accepting the subsidy is the same as giving the government charity.
Not giving charity while being opposed to subsidies is not hypocritical.

This is a bizarre hill to die on.
Let's play your example out in a conversation:
1: "I don't believe anyone should pay sales tax!"
2: "But you (someone who is anyone) do pay sales tax, are you a hypocrite?"
1: "Of course not. I have to, it's the law."
2: "So you believe nobody should have to pay sales tax, but they must when legally required?"
1: "Yes."
2: "Oh good, that seems reasonable. I also hate taxes."
