> The problem I feel with Mozilla is that they mistook why they were successful. They attributed the success of Firefox to the openness of the browser and the company and have doubled-down on that.

I think you've mistaken the purpose of Mozilla: the purpose of Mozilla is not to have a successful company independent of openness, it is to promote "openness, innovation, and opportunity on the Web".

Mozilla isn't a for-profit company (well, the Foundation isn't, and the Corporation is wholly owned by, and exists to further the purposes of, the Foundation.)
