Assuming we're all using the word "nasty" to mean spiteful or unpleasant, I think it's quite fair to call that comment by the CFO nasty toward users. The CFO is literally saying that users should not have a choice about how their data is used. Now, that may be a "reasonable" business decision for GitLab to make, but it's still quite fair to call it nasty toward users. Again, it's literally the CFO instructing the GitLab product team to remove a choice from their users about how their users' data is being used. Middle fingers and feelings of entitlement may also be nasty, but this comment from the CFO is, in my view, pretty much textbook nasty.
