You say it is a problem with FOSS projects. Isn't it more a problem with hobby projects? Some FOSS projects are hobby projects others not. As show cased by the fact that Firefox itself is a FOSS project. Timely maintenance is also problematic with hobby closed-source projects or hobby apps on closed platforms, like iOS and Android. |

Mozilla gets paid $500m a year by Google so that Google can be default search engine on Firefox. They have the money that keeps them "incentivized" although they are FOSS and nonprofit. Or in another words Gitlab and Github FOSS devs do not have salaries like Mozilla people do, the only thing they get is an occasional donation.
