    Considering that it seems that there continues to be talk/planning of
    armed insurrection, I think we can forgive them for violating
    professional courtesy.

I thought the boot was announced after physical threats were made
against Google and Apple facilities and employees for removing the
app from the app stores?

There's professional courtesy; but the moment you start threatening
to bomb datacenters and kill employees, it's pretty clear professional
courtesy has been forcibly thrown through the reinforced double-glazed
energy-efficient windows and has plummeted straight through the roof
of the classic Cadillac in the parking lot ten stories below.  :(

Yeah, it may have been self-interest or all of the above. I really don't think that much concern needs to be given any more than the concern given to spammers and other fraudsters. "you have 30 days to move your criminal enterprise, have a good day". Bletch.
