Yea, I never said they didn't, and I'm generally a proponent of separating art from the artist.
However, by conflating their official work and furthering their personal politics through the moderation of the lemmy.ml instance (which, whether they like it or not, IS seen as the "dev" or "flagship" or "official" instance) It's not currently feasible to actually donate money while maintaining "separation of art and artist"
If they turned over admin duties of .ml to a new, as unbiased and fair as possible, admin team nearly all the friction for almost everyone to donating would evaporate.
As someone in another thread put it "Devs should do dev work and not mod work, admins should do mod work and not dev work"
To me this whole thing depends on just how conflated the two things really are - if they're going to use the donations to continue development, keep .ml running, or a mix of both. If it's the strictly the former then I don't see the problem if they happen to also have a hobby spreading braindead propaganda in their spare time. As far as I'm aware they haven't previously abused their power as developers to privilege their own instance so I think we can probably trust them to use our donations to continue working on the protocol in good faith.
