Not all "what about all the other countries" questions are whataboutism. The author was not trying to justify the invasions because other countries were doing it too, but was to point out the inconsistency in the reasoning stated by Namecheap --- if it were a moral concern then it certainly appears to be an ingenuine one; if it were a PR move, then the pretension of it being a morally driven decision really defeats the purpose of the message.
