Don’t you also get feedback, pull requests, bug fixes and suggestions from the community that are both beneficial to react but also to Facebook as well?

Therefore it now seems like there _is_ incentive for Facebook to want outside developers to use it.

Thanks.

Sure, and that’s very helpful. But we also spend months of work on things that affect open source (like gradual migration strategies) that aren’t beneficial to Facebook per se. So from a business perspective it’s not a clear-cut case. Sometimes it can even challenging to justify some kinds of work. But we believe in it.

What I’m trying to say here is not that we don’t value open source contributions. But that much of the driving force behind how React is developed comes from the team itself. Not executives.
