This is very well-informed, nice job on the research.
Google hasn't been forbidden from paying Mozilla - yet, at least. They've only been ruled a monopolist, but what consequences they will face is yet to be determined, and then the appeals process will follow, so it'll be a couple of years before there's any potential impact.
Mozilla has also explicitly tried to have other baskets to put eggs in (Relay. VPN, Monitor Plus, Hubs, etc.), it's just that none of those have been as successful.
I believe MDN and standards partcipation is part of the Corporation. The latter definitely, because implementation experience matters for that. The former also has its own monetisation, and has a lot of content contributed by the Open Web Docs foundation.
I think it's mostly the parents of whales who are complaining.
It'll be at the hands of whatever jurisdiction the forker is in. It's not like you can escape governments.
We'll see, and I'd be happy if it wins!
I never really get the point they're trying to make in these comic parodies (if there is any), which makes it less meaningful to me if people eat the onion.
And yet all the big apps are still using Electron.
Usually the answer is limited resources with unclear payoff, i.e. even with Electron's success, it's not clear that there's room for an alternative in the market, and it'd be a lot of effort to do.
Ah, so it should just be better! I wonder why nobody thought of that yet :P
(Sorry, I'm in a sarcastic mood, but you get my point.)
Ah, that's the secret? Why didn't anyone tell me this before?! All this slaving away at my day job, when I could just have built a self-sustaining good product - it's that easy!
