Of course I am sure he is extremely happy spending 5 years developing the next big thing then others rebrand it for enterprise and become rich.

Jason comments here all the time and is quite easy to talk to, and I think we're all better off hearing from real Jason, not some imaginary angry Jason you've invented. Not least because there are actual abuses in the WireGuard ecosystem, and your imaginary Jason is obscuring them behind fake abuses.
I didn't say he is angry, my main point was not advertise for free for a company that is built off the work of a single man, especially when it's FOSS, especially when it's a technically piece of genius like WireGuard, while not supporting the man himself. There are known ways for companies to market their paid product, it's called ads.
You realise most VPN providers offer OpenVPN (for years) and now Wireguard support right? Some bundle the software & drivers on their own GUI. I'm happily using a paid OpenVPN client for mac (won't name it here to avoid upsetting you further) for years.

What I'm trying to say is that tailscale is doing nothing new or sinister.

This is not how opensource works.
