Definitely agree with that. Moreover, I think software serve the user, even if the user wants something the dev considers bad.
But then, do you think someone reported all of those apps at the same time after randomly stumbling upon offensive content when using fedi?
Or is it more likely this was someone with an axe to grind against people with a different ideology?
