I haven't kept up on this controversy, but is this really all there is to it? People think the service is untrustworthy because the CEO tried a bit too hard to convince a critical blogger, according to the comments possibly due to neurodivergence?

Read the blog post. I can totally see where the writer is coming from. Vlad's email responses are pretty laughable with that added context. Not only did they tell him they weren't interested in engaging, but the responses he sent anyways thoroughly dodged the substance of their arguments. They did their research and came to pretty reasonable conclusions, and vlad totally talked around/failed to address the points that really matter. Kinda slimy ngl.

I can also see from the highlighted discord exchanges why they weren't interested in engaging with him further. Sure he "responds" to everything, but he doesn't really engage with constructive criticism. Whether or not the guy is autistic isn't really relevant to whether he can run the business competently and make sure questions are answered in an honest and transparent manner.
