I think the idea is sound and of course they are within their rights to do so, but when a musician goes public and publishes an open letter as if they want the whole world to know it begins to look rather try-hard and attention seeking, sometimes even quite arrogant.

If the musician really didn't give a shit they should just let them get on with it and don't bother turning up to the awards ceremony.
