Even if Vercel came out and said “we’ve bought Rich Harris’s voice, every choice will be controlled by us” (which they haven’t!) they still wouldn’t control the project because Rich isn’t a BDFL.
If we have such trustworthy markets and competition, then how the hell did we end up with React and Angular, huh?
Ayn Rand sucks at software design, as much as she sucks at philosophy and economics and social design and writing. Your trust in her is certainly misplaced.
Anyway, why do you have such a huge problem with Rich acting in his own best self interest, that you found a need to personally attack him so viciously and often as you did in this discussion for all that he's done for himself and the Svelte community?
Don't you believe the invisible hand of the market, which you trust so much, will prosecute your vengeance on Rich, who you find so untrustworthy?
