Proton was never mature or stable so saying it "never caught on" is a bit of a joke. It was never released.

It also wasn't equivalent to Electron for a bunch of big architectural reasons related to required changes to Gecko that the team never prioritises because Proton wasn't a priority project.

> was solely bleeding money

Yes. Because unreleased in-progress projects should be profitable before they're released in order to be viable. How much money was it bleeding? Do you have eyes on these accounts?
