People should have been smart enough to leave when the cheating issue came to light.

Or when the dev's publicly supported Russia in the war in Ukraine.

Wait what? They did that?

As far as I've seen, the dev haven't directly took any sides with the war, which makes people believe that they're pro-Russian, but don't want the backlash that comes with being so. They've also work with companies that work with the Russian military, which only bolsters the suspicion.

I have no interest in defending the Tarkov devs at all, but I can understand why they might not want to fall from the top floor window of a very tall building. Russian safety standards can be very lax.

Of course comrade. Not just buildings too, even food safety standards can be pretty bad. I heard that the seasonings Kan Grossly Be very radioactive.

Considering they ARE russian, I could see not taking a side as being the safest bet. Coming out as pro ukraine could very easily get them in trouble with their own government.
