Well longer term allowing the community to focus all it’s hate on the CEO, rather than the platform (and it’s direction e.g. the API and gold changes) allows for an easy PR fix in future - when spez is replaced all the bad press goes away, but all the changes remain intact and forgotten.

Sure, but if the hate was focused on the platform and not on its leadership I doubt there’d be as many reddit users willing to protest.
Anyone who truly cares about the openness of the platform would have already been using a more open alternative by now.
