We'd all be a lot less stressed if there was a clean separation between politics and technology platforms but that isn't the case. Arguments about the house settlement for college athletics and the politics around that are not a good topic of conversation on HN. How a major tech figure's platforms are running and what effects that may have is worth discussing. Just because someone did good things in the passed doesn't mean everything they do is good. It's irresponsible to not continue to judge people based on there current actions and give them a complete pass on any current actions based on passed behavior.
