Automattic previously prevented 1.5 million sites from receiving security updates.

Their latest move (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41751776) is announcing a security hole in ACF, a WP Engine plugin, and preventing them from deploying a fix for it. This places 2+ million users at risk.

Good guys wouldn't do either of these things. The sooner Matt is replaced or Automattic goes under the better.
