He did cite technical and other issues. One of the issues goes into the details about what's happening and that it's deal breaker for the project.

I personally would seriously encourage other projects, particularly any using self-hosted runners, to look carefully at the stability of Actions and ask themselves whether it is a solution worth sticking with long-term when compared with alternatives.
Others are ideological or political but those are fair game as well, I feel.

I agree with that. It just doesn't reflect well on the project and attracts controversy. It seems Andrew is under a lot of stress and simply has had enough bullshit to deal with. It doesn't excuse it but I think it explains it.
