If a leader cannot make public communications with respect, the content of the message is irrelevant.

So that's not a rational view. Linus's style is irrelevant; you need to see if he is correct as that's all that matters really in deciding whether or not to dismiss his arguments. This goes for everyone from Aristotle to Andrew Tate.
If he's wrong in 99% of cases then sure, it's reasonable to dismiss him based purely on time constraints. But if he's rude and correct in 99% of cases then you need to listen up.
