I think you're being very hyperbolic. They were very explicit saying the games were Windows only and had DRM (Steam). It was its own isolated bundle.

Technically, and financially it was all good. However marketing wise not a good move. Your post proofs this. And I kinda agree.

Yes, that bundle was upsetting. I hope they don't continue this kind of stuff.

I was disappointed about this, too; not because it's necessarily bad, but because they had set the bar so high for themselves and then totally missed it with this. On the bright side, it raised a lot of money for charity.

It wasn't named an "indie" bundle and it was marked quite well. I don't think it's selling out.

Their integrity? THQ was about to tank, and they wanted to flip the games to whoever they could. I'm sure that if there were THQ-internal beta versions for Linux and Mac, they would have happily shipped them.
