Hot take, but the intersection of people with sufficient LIS / archival experience to run the place and who can live under constant legal peril without capitulating to adversarial interests is probably, what, a hundred in the world? I'd say they need support. They didn't abandon or pervert their mission, they relied on people they trusted who weren't equipped to also handle security. If your house were broken into, I wouldn't start a neighborhood petition for you to move out, because you didn't cause it. They may be in a rut, but short of you or someone else building an IA replacement that settles all of your concerns and commiting to it for twenty five years with no serious compromises, you're probably punching a little above your weight on the topic.
