The roadmap priorities always baffled me too. I mean, what elm needs now to be usable is surely not code splitting... Almost no one really need that, it's a late optimisation for top sites.

It makes sense if their strategy is to try to get at least one of said "top sites" to adopt them—which might, after all, result in development being sponsored or supported by full-time employees of whichever bigcorp runs the site.
They already have that. Evan literally gets paid a Bay Area salary to work on Elm.
In that case—if at least one bigcorp is using Elm (which one?)—then their roadmap is probably being heavily steered by the needs of said bigcorp.
No "big" corp is using Elm but NoRedInk is both Evan's employer and the company that uses Elm the most.
