I think the large part for me, is that I don't see these tools as useful. regex101.com , the "history" command and Mackup provide these things for me and they are free. How do these paid apps provide more value?
EE being unaffected (for now) is not the point, the problem is the way this was announced, especially opt-out by default. I can't ever recommend GitLab in companies I work for now, because my trust in GitLab has been shaken.
