Where I draw the line for whether it is ethical to light things on fire is when they start destroying rare knowledge and books as fast as possible for no other reason than to hoard and obscure knowledge for private benefit.
It is one thing to fund the creation of knowledge and then hoard it, it is entirely another to begin actively attacking and destroying pre-existing publicly shared resources of knowledge in the pursuit of monetizing access to that very knowledge behind a gargantuan profit motivated entity.



It is a perfect example of a centrist who desires to manage the status quo rather than make any structural changes approximating a position between two perceived “extremes” that does not exist and building out a rationale to support that political position in a way that makes it glaringly obvious to everyone else that they are speaking for a political demographic that does not exist.
