Don't wp updates and plugins only come from one of the 2? Anyway I'm pretty sure they're just mad that wpengine uses bandwidth from the wp update infrastructure without paying instead of hosting their own update infrastructure, which basically means that selfhosters / individuals are not the target. That said it still sounds like the dude is being hella petty about it.
