I guess Namecheap is on my list of opinionated companies ie they are in notallowedlist now.
Also some things to think about:
People who don't have access to their e-mail right now wouldn't even know they would be "asked to move".
In the 21st century this probably means people who can't read the e-mail are in the hospital, e.g. after a traffic accident or on a ventilator with COVID. Imagine going to coma/whatever around Feb 15, recover somewhat in the first weeks of March to encounter all your digital life was wiped from the Internet (despite being paid on time).
People who hosted their e-mail on a domain hosted on Namecheap would lose the ability to receive the e-mails (if for any reason wouldn't make it in time), which could greatly complicate the whole moving process. Giving the NamecheapCEO gave only 5 day to move out this is pretty contradicts their "please kindly fuc^W get out".
Given the majority of Namecheap support is located in Ukraine I highly doubt all these "[Russians,] contact us, we'll make exceptions" would go well.
And finally, riding a high horse is always good, but I doubt NamecheapCEO paid 1700 Ukrainian employees the same salary he would paid to 1700 US employees. Sure, this is not "Don't cut in my profits", but while the horse is high - it stinks.
EDIT: oh, and I really want them to publish the stats on how many people moved the domains from them in the next week, with at least Russia/non-Russia owned break-up.
But something tells me we wont see that.
EDIT2: Ha! To add insult to injury the guy could be literally locked up for actively participating in protests against the war![0]
