I totally agree with you. Good example is Atom editor. Also I totally liked the idea of Firefox OS. Shame it died. IMHO it was totally Mozilla fault. They shipped FF OS with under powered hardware. When I asked them, why. Was told their focus is on emerging markets. Well focus was wrong. If they put Firefox OS on some decent hardware, I would love to buy it.

They also tried to push a open to end user modification phone firmware by partnering with carriers. And carriers are notorious for wanting to put in bloatware, and locking it in place. The Mozilla of recent years is a massive example of the whole "busybody" problem that FOSS is having these days. Too many people with some kind of "social" angle has gotten involved on the management end to tout their own horn. This then is draining resources and taking focus away from writing good reliable code as they are chasing the latest "social problems" to solve so that said management can add another entry to their resume of causes championed.
