No need for it to feel wrong

There are a few people who basically run PyPy development. They can do as they please. It's open source, so if you're so against it, you can make a "nobody profits" fork. Most outside contributions to open source projects are made by people who wanted to scratch an itch & then let the existing maintainers maintain that improvement. Their reward is the great software. This is still there so long as PyPy commits to remaining freely available

Commercializing the project proper seems incorrect. If they want to take on consulting due to their experience that seems far better.

I never said nobody can make money.

Enough said: "nobody profits" fork is the solution. /s
