History will judge Eich just fine. He's a great technologist, and the Open Web owes a huge debt to him. He's probably done more for equality and inclusiveness than anyone who protested his appointment.

That's the real tradgedy here: the world, and Mozilla, lost a great ally (for now.)

His tech skills and his contribution are all that matters when it comes to leading a tech company. You're the one that's missing the point here.
