The CEO can use the capital to establish the business. It can be used to pay wages, buy hardware etc.
Of course there are obligations for the CEO to not let the GmbH go bancrupt.
This sounds like you claim that pijul serves all workflows well, which would contradict my own experience. I'm so used to think in branches / PRs (to display a history and showing lineages), that I find the current way of handling channels/patches of pijul alien. Right now I would need to break my workflow in my daily operation to use pijul.
But CPU architectures also have undefined behavior. ARM for example calls these "UNPREDICTABLE" and "CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE". Have a at the Armv8 architecture reference and grep for those. Lot's of ways to write programs in pure assembly with undefined behavior too!
x86, 6502 and Z80 etc all have undefined / unpredictable behavior too.
But storing music over 48kHz and 16bit for comsumption is really just waste of storage space and pure snake oil. 16 bit give a dynamic range of 96dB and I'm not aware of any recording outside of experiments that take advantage of it. Even the most expensive speaker / headphones will distort terribly if you play them on the loudness level where this dynamic range would matter...
And most "high quality" recordings with a high frequency range (96kHz+) only really add ultrasonic sound and mostly noise artefacts that don't correlate to the music recorded (and that no speaker / headphones can even reasonably, without high distortions, reproduce, if they even pass the LPF of the reproduction chain).
So yeah, I also think that 48/16 is all we need for optimal consumption. If the format is lossless, it's also nice for archival reasons.
Most big fansubbing groups hated CR back in the days when CR started, since CR took their fansunbs to fuel their business.
Once CR started to make/pay for their own translations (also hiring translators from some groups in the background) the situation got better, since then a clear, legal path was visible for the community.
We also increased profit by lowering our runtime cost by some of those optimizations.
