True but I think thats the most skeptical viewpoint possible. 1. Those orgs succeed when redis succeeds. So they want to see it used more which means more features. 2. Developers think for themselves and aren't always "double agents". 3. The redis community still exists and open source communities are often very vocal about directing products |

I don't think the situation is quite as binary as this suggests. Even assuming that developers are consistently doing what they believe is in the best interest of the project, their employers may benefit from being able to encourage them to consider the items which are the employer's priorities. Developers don't have unlimited time, and if they have to choose between two worthwhile projects and one of them is of interest to their employer, it's likely that's the one they'll spend time on.
