Because they don't want to be involved in operations in Russia, especially while having Ukranian employees. As the GGP points out, any transaction in Russia implicitly helps the government through taxes.
They have put their morality and employees' above whatever business they got out of being in Russia.

And legitimacy.
I legitimately don't understand what argument you are even trying to make here.
A private corporation is able to choose who to do business with, for any reason they want. They are not beholden to anyone but themselves and their shareholders.
Namecheap has a sizeable Ukranian workforce, they have elected to put them above their Russian customers. As should be, honestly, obvious, to everyone reading here.
Nobody is claiming this will overthrow the government but you.

Regardless of their motivations they are also beholden to the law. I don't have a lot of experience in this area but I would hope they would be in breach of contract for suspending legal/paying customers without notice.
Namecheap probably have a generic clause in their TOS that theoretically covers situations like this but these are not always enforceable.

Someone is going to suffer, should it be:
(A) A Russian tax payer, or,
(B) A Ukrainian bomb recipient?
It's not fair, but if your country does evil -- you are not entirely innocent.
Hmm, maybe I'm wrong... You probably are innocent.
It's just you end up as collateral damage.
Russia is engaged in an illegal war of aggression. There will be consequences for this. If the people of Russia are suffering they need to put that pressure on their government from inside.
