It's a reason to hate. It doesn't need to make sense.
I'm obviously not justifiying it, but if it wouldn't have been "x" reason it would have been "y" reason..they just needed some kind of scapegoat to use as an excuse.
We just have to be thankful that not all of the developers are like them. At least a few of the 2kki devs (if not all) are happy with us, and lol has always been incredibly kind along with a few others like De I Cide's dev.
