No they're not. Blackrock owns a large chunk of the Vanguard group. They're trying some wacky bait and switch - good cop/bad cop nonsense on the feeble minded.
Don't give money to (or invest with) people that hate you and want you and your family dead.
You can always contribute and then transfer out to another fund. It's a pain in the ass to consolidate retirement accounts, but odds are if your employer matches contributions, the time spent transferring from like to like (e.g. one Roth IRA to another, or one 401K to another) is worth more to you than whatever else you'd be doing with that time.

Yeah, I thought my comment was naive. Your interpretation seems more realistic.

Isn't that basically everyone though?
