I‘m pretty active on Wikidata and don’t have a problem with this.
People here are arguing to stick with Wikimedia for reasons that are logically and ontologically flawless, but do not in the least matter for the purposes of branding.
When the foundation calls a politician only vaguely familiar with the internet, they will still know Wikipedia, and might be more willing to do whatever it is the foundation wants. The same is true for almost anyone except maybe their most active users.
Community opposition, even though I disagree with it, is the only valid reason not to do this. I can’t really tell how represent this letter is for the community, many of whom are likely to be at least indifferent to it. But the foundation will have a better idea and certainly consider it.
