Ava Labs as a company has.. problems. But Avalanche is an actual product working which publishes research and has developed an efficient proof of stake blockchain ecosystem including an EVM-based network. It's no less of a "legit org" than Uber. Comparing with Uber rather than Coinbase because they've been exposed to have engaged in similar anti-competitive practices which many deem unethical. There's a good chance Coinbase has too, they just haven't had a scandal blow open because of it.
