There are perspectives from which that is very similar to the distinction between being sexist and making sexist jokes -- is what matters the person's beliefs, or the end result? The end result is certainly that things closely tied to the Nazi ideology are being celebrated.
I think that how problematic this is depends on how close one considers that tie between the equipment and the ideology of its users to be, and I think that varies widely for different people with different backgrounds.
