What's the goal of sponsorship? To pay what it's worth or support it's development? Anyone could live a good life off $144k, but is that what Babel deserves?

I'll be honest that when I see a repo making more than $100k I kinda feel they don't need sponsorship. Although how does health insurance and the like work for full-time open source devs?

There are many projects that could use more than 1/2 full-time maintainers.
