Why not? Let's not pretend that my house is some kind of enterprise level data centre. Why would some FOSS NAS hobby project demand that I only use my home linux server for it? Such a strange requirement. All it needs to do is expose a simple web page to configure samba/nfs/scp/sftp etc. It really seems to have a high opinion of itself.
Probably just cultural hegemony. American liberals see Israelis as "white" so they'll back them to the hilt. Christian fascists see them as ushering in the end times. No president wants to be the one that lost that foothold in the ME. Probably a lot of people in power directly benefit from bribery or are at risk of losing a lot via blackmail. Like Bill Clinton was.
Spread the good word. Everyone I tell is blown away and comes back to me later to thank me.
It's just really handy for correcting autocorrect typos.
