Sidetangent: why is ollama frowned upon by some people? I've never really got any other explanation than "you should run llama.CPP yourself"

They refuse to work with the community. There's also the open question of how they are going to monetize, given that they are a VC-backed company.

Why shouldn't I go with llama.cpp, lmstudio, or ramalama (containers/RH); I will at least know what I am getting with each one.

Ramalama actually contributes quite a bit back to llama.cpp/whipser.cpp (more projects probably), while delivering a solution that works better for me.
