Sure, but yada yada yada -> he decided that he did not want to serve.

Aka: How is all the justification how he arrived at that decision relevant ?

And even if the reasons where relevant, for which i can not find
any evidence in the relevant RFCs, then i can't see how this woud
have changed the outcome.

And even if he would have decided that he did want to serve, it
would have been up to NomCom chair to decide (my reading of the RFC),
and but i can't seriously not think of how a NomCom chair would have
kicked out anyone else (from that company) than the person newly announcing
the affiliation.

The argument made on the list is to violate section 5.1 of rfc3793 AFAIK.
