Yeah it's somewhat ideological, I think open source software is better for society when built as a community project than built and controlled by a VC funded company. I don't think you could get flake8 to be as fast as Ruff, but I think you could improve it to be within an order of magnitude, and honestly that's plenty good enough. There are a lot of low hanging fruit, particularly around caching. I'd push back on there being no chance of being "as good as" Ruff, because "good" is not just speed. Ruff is _not complete_, if you want all the features and linters, you still need Flake8, or you have to sacrifice some. It's also not publicly extensible, and not written in Python, both of which are fair choices but I think deviate from the ideal scenario here.
