Although "entrusted" to Apache, they're still controlled by the same people who change their titles from XXXX Project Manager at BigCorp to Apache PMS Chair for XXXX. These people are often the reason the project funding is cut off, and they'd rather keep control of a shrinking ecosystem than give up some control so the project can be saved, where they'd have a smaller share of a larger ecosystem.
