I'm saying the team should quit and spin out an open source company to work on pytorch (same for react). They'd get much more buy in from the other big tech companies (like amazon) by being a neutral party and not part of Facebook.

There's a ton of companies that would be happy to pay them to keep working on it.

counter-example: CPython, NumPy, SciPy and many critical well-used open-source projects that have tiny volunteer teams and operational budgets that are minuscule compared to something like React / PyTorch
