A currency aimed at privacy and censorship resistance shouldn't be strongly tied to a company that's able to exert control over it to the point that they can retroactively bake in a permanent form of rent seeking. It would demonstrate that it's not viable for the purported usage.

Or mine the coin like everyone else and raise the value of the holdings in it by working on it. It wasn't the end of the world since it wasn't permanent. Having it in perpetuity makes it non-viable as a serious currency. Introducing it retroactively also makes it even worse.

If it's not decentralized, it's really not a viable way to provide privacy and censorship resistance for a currency. The way they talk about the subsidy makes it clear that there's a centralized, single point of failure and that they don't really believe in the project at all.
