I think it's perfectly fine that people who deem it unacceptable that Kagi uses Yandex go ahead and cancel their subscriptions. The same thing if they don't accept Kagi sourcing from Brave, Google or Apple. Each person makes her decision. Even better: Make a Yandex-free search engine to compete with Kagi.
In the growing phase, every small business will attract activists who want to form the company to their will, without investing anything or creating something themselves. That's normal, I consider it growing pains. It's totally risk-free and effort free for the activists. They see small companies as easy targets to be bullied. When/if the company grows to a bigger size, activists won't be interested anymore, because they know big companies don't listen.
