My only argument against your opinion, is that he actually has a trackable history of poor performance as a CEO and a trackable record of very bad monetization schemes. He's the reason EA is the way it is.
This isn't the first company he's ruined the reputation of.
Granted, the board that elected him is still there. That's an issue that will persist for a while.
He joined Unity in 2014. I don't believe for a second that a board of investors agreed on anything for that long.
...which could be because he has offered this service to many boards in the past.
Him being fired is a necessary step for unity to regain an ounce of trust
