It is a pure and simple supression of speech on what we were told was a "sufficiently decentralized" network. While I appreciate your valiant attempt at spinning this as providing choice, that's bullshit.
Those choosing to stay on the primary client aren't choosing a client, they chose to sign a contract explicitly based upon, introduced as, and themed as a dictatorship and were given specific examples of the implementation of that dictatorship by seeing their friends, collaborators, and acquaintances banned.
They chose to be lab rats for Balaji's experiment to determine what humans would be willing to accept. While he's busy laughing over the results with Thiel and his fellow corporate dictatorship advocates, we're all stuck in stupid until the real network forks.
