Neither of them had ownership of the project, so neither of them were responsible for the sale or benefited from it.
They both simply dedicated a lot of time, care and skill to the project. It's really a shame to see what they spent so much time building and maintaining now being used as a platform to exploit people. I'm sure its extremely disappointing to both of them.

With the more recent host bindings proposal[1], direct DOM access was decoupled from GC. This is expected to move much more quickly.

The prioritization parts of Quantum DOM have landed. There is some work around preemption that still needs to happen. We should have a post talking about this coming out in the next few weeks.

I created my own font based on my handwriting. It's called codecartoons. I also have a more Marker Felt-ish one called Clarker Felt.

Yes, that was me :) I've created a lot of cartoons around things in the React ecosystem. I've also done cartoons on WebAssembly and SharedArrayBuffer/Atomics.

No, I created Code Cartoons in my spare time. After I worked at Mozilla for a while, I pitched the idea of me making Code Cartoons explaining the things we were developing in Emerging Technologies. My (current) boss was super into the idea.
I talked more about this on a recently recorded Hanselminutes podcast. It should come out soon.

A tool called Emscripten provides a runtime environment. You can include things from that, like a virtual filesystem. That said, a lot of WebAssembly code doesn't have a dependency on file APIs. For example, you can check out the web-dsp project: https://github.com/shamadee/web-dsp
If you're looking for an intro, I wrote a series of posts on WebAssembly (there are 5 links at the bottom of this intro): https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/02/a-cartoon-intro-to-webasse...
