I think the issue is people read that then add their own meaning to it, and then react to that instead of what was actually said. What they didn't say that people add of their own volition seems to be "and we're not evil", "and we're not criminals", "and we're the good guys". They didn't say those things. Their goal is to make money. That doesn't mean they think they're doing good in the world or innocent.
And 'apolitical' just means they're not choosing targets for political reasons, not that they're paragons of virtue or anything.
And to be clear, I'm not defending them, just observing the reactions to this. People seem desperate for there to be black and white morality decisions when everything is a shade of grey.

What's funny about their statement is that it's such an obvious lie. They make money by creating problems for society; that's what they demand ransom for, removing the problem they created. Bit funny how people read all kinds of stuff into their statement, but nobody so far has pointed out this discrepancy in what it actually says.
