Not necessarily. The economic situation has been tough for everyone and maybe the shareholders could have asked for reducing the work done on Fedora or Stream for a short term benefit?

I don't see any link between shareholder demands and business viability, other than "keep the business profitable". What makes you think shareholders are more familiar with the market a company operates in than the company itself?

In fact, with tech companies, the shareholders don't usually demand "profitable", they usually demand double-digit revenue growth.
