As someone who has sued someone else and won, it can take months for your legal team to gather the facts, decide on strategy, and then file suit.

It's related because it led to Sidekiq dropping their funding, which increased shopify's power over ruby central.
It’s related because from the outside it looks like DHH is pulling strings to spitefully oust the folks who brought up concerns about his radical, hateful views. So you may not care what he has to say, but if he uses his influence to exclude folks who do care, and it causes you a problem, maybe it is related after all.
For instance, DHH and his fancy blog, are not 100% related or relatable to RubyCentral ousting long-term developers. There may be some connection (DHH on shopify's board, tons of ruby developers being paid by shopify and still writing "my opinion is totally unbiased" like byroot did), but there is no 1:1 overlap. For instance, I could not care what DHH writes on his blog any less. rubygems.org changing policies though - that affects me. And if shopify is in part responsible, and DHH sits on shopify and makes decisions, then yes, something changed here. But there are also people who have a vendetta against DHH and they leak into other spaces too. I am not among those people and they shouldn't try to hijack other communities either.
By the way, the Shopify ultimatum also does not explain why all other ruby devs were ousted. Ruby Central lost the narrative here. And, since they accuse Arko as the ultimate bad boy - why haven't they sued him? Why do they continue to refuse to do so? (Because they know their case would be rubbish nonsense and they would have to open up ALL emails, which may make many more people suddenly ... very funky.)
