It's funny because the oversight in a startup is usually much bigger than in a big organization (the 5% mentioned is usually much, much bigger).

Their success depends so much on community that if fails to deliver, it dies. Thus it usually listens much more carefully. While other big organizations don't have that issue (in fact, they can go on much bigger losses just to capture markets).

What I wanted to showcase is that at the end, power (which usually means a stronger monetary input, which translates to how many people can work and experiment on new stuff) is what leads most of the changes, even if those changes are masked as organizations pushes or what not.

And to reinforce, its great to see Fastly pushing forward and doubling down on WebAssembly. Same as is great seeing Google pushing forward on the W3C standards. The advancements doesn't make it good or bad per se just because it's lead by one organization or another. It's what is delivered what matters.
