It's only hypocrisy when the accused actually does the thing they're asking others not to do.
As far as I can tell, there is no harassment of the OBS team and no demand that they support Rumble as a drop-in. After all, there are many other services they don't support. They are only criticizing the OBS team for making public statements to the effect that they are explicitly not adding Rumble to the list for political reasons.
But even beyond that, it is entirely fallacious to equate Rumble users with the "right wing", and especially not with some nebulous "they" who are interested in the issue. And the idea that making it easier to use a platform is inherently "carrying water for their ideology" is utterly absurd. (Not to mention that the overwhelming majority of them simply do not hold harmful beliefs on anything like the level ascribed to them; their actual beliefs are constantly and grossly misrepresented, leading to a high-profile assassination a bit over a year ago.)
