They have off-GH sponsorship that's much more widely subscribed.

Yeah, it's apparently pulling in over $800K in annual revenue [1].

EDIT: Doing the math on the sponsor list, it's probably around $1M in ARR now.

I'm sorry but it simply does not cost a million dollars to maintain Tailwind, a CSS library that has no compelling reason to ever change at this point.
