Perhaps giving a bit more information than throwing out random acronyms related to SSH would be a bit more fruitful in terms of responses.
What about TOFU and MITM would you like them to respond to? TOFU isn't inherently a bad thing. Neither is MITM. It depends on the threat model, the actors involved, etc.
Your comment (and the snarky followup) imply they're doing something wrong, but it's unclear what.
There is nothing that can be done beyond what they are doing?
You can receive their public keys out-of-band through an https-authenticated connection. Which means their approach to "the initial trust problem" is _not_ "trust on first use".
Our host keys are published here and are durable: https://pico.sh/host-keys
So approximately nothing?
