I’d believe this, and almost want to commend the ones you know for leaving.
I’m not quite jaded enough (barely) that I still believe that people can grow up in decent environments, somewhat sheltered from the world, thinking they can go into policing or politics and “do some good”. I don’t know that I still believe that they actually can do any good… but if they started off naively optimistic and then realized what it was like, and left? That takes a degree of character, and some guts knowing you’re leaving a profession. There’s opportunity cost.
Now… this particular guy at RPi and 15 years to figure it out? Eh. And generally unsure why this is being flagged, except for “drama” maybe. It’s a bad look from an organization that lots of people know about and respect(ed).

I imagine you can spend 15 years in building surveillance devices and not suffer the mental breaking point of a beat cop or CSAM investigator. If you can turn a side hobby into a second career, why not go for it? The RPi's social media poster definitely needs retraining. There is no need to be this passive aggressive on a commercial account.
