At least they DO fix unlike Bethesda. Unofficial community patches have been a mainstay for Beth products for years.

There are really two aspects to your arguement: whether one personally can accept Egosoft's MO and whether the community at large will accept Egosoft's MO.
I was referencing the former. While not ideal, I am happier with a company that provides the level of commitment that Egosoft does, than one that does a cash grab and leaves users hanging. I personally think we need more dev houses like this so, on a personal level, am happy to support these guys (Egosoft). And while NMS wasn't my cup of tea I'm also impressed by Hello Games.
Regarding the latter, all I'll say is I wish Egosoft a successful launch. X games have been on my HD for nearly 20 years -- I'll be very happy to see Bernd and his crew enjoy another 20
