I'm funding development. Aren't you? Also the source is open so what nefarious thing are they up to, please point to code.

You missed the point

To have some visual symmetry in the logo you can do a triangle, square, but the pentagon visually sucks in most cases, hexagon is next reasonable, heptagon again sucks with alignment, octagon maybe, but now you are essentially a circle shape.

I agree, that's why I give it a pass. I'm explaining the problem with it.
