Have you identified the code changes which effect the solution?
Are those able to be integrated back with the firmware via a PR?
IFF those are possible, it would be most interesting to see what the maintainer(s) [Tim Ziegler (@tizcza), Jeremy Soller (@jackpot51)] responses are to a PR for fixing this.
Without trying to solve it via those channels, one probably cannot say whether this specific "snarky" post being hidden constitutes bad faith on the part of the company.
