But do people look at installing a formulae in brew and wonder "what's their position on Uyghur oppression in Western China?" Like, wow, jxl is pretty neat, but they don't have a position on Palestine so I don't know if I should leverage the JPEG XL format?

Insanity. IMO. Keep that stuff at home.

Well if I had to install something and knew their authors were in favor of genocides, I would look elsewhere.

> they don't have a position on Palestine so I don't know if I should leverage the JPEG XL format?

This is a strawman. You go from "they are in favor of something horrible, should I use them?" to "they haven't expressed a position on stuff, should I use them?".
