Well, fuck. ... we raised a fuckload of money and didn’t need more. And if we fail, we fail with our full asses.

I have seen this language from other companies to which I say "no". Being professional means being able to do good work, being polite, without lying, cheating, or stealing.

I do not want them to fail yet I would never use them despite liking their product. A few other companies behave the same way.

Have they done bad work, lied, cheated, or stolen something?
Lack being polite. It doesn't take much. Out of the mouth flows their heart.
Gotcha. You have a distaste for those who don't abide by your particular parochial naughty word list.

Transgressors are equated by you with thieves and frauds.

I'm strongly reminded of Piet Hein’s Circumscripture Grook.
