I think the real answer is in credits section of fund.blender.org. Sizeable contributions at scale of $1m as well as corporate user feedbacks started flowing into it ~2019.

I’d view that more as an effect of popularity rather than the cause.
Funding doesn’t tend to happen unless there’s already a lot of interest in a platform.

Khara(the Evangelion company) quit 3ds Max and transitioned to Blender around that timeframe, in collaboration with Blender developers. This seemed to coincide with Epic funding(anime people aren't rich people, broadly speaking, so I guess capitalisms happen in parallel and elsewhere).
