I agree -- and that's simply their 'big bets' if we give them credit for trying to do other things. The reality is EVEN their core business which, if we simplify to 'rsync that just works for people who have no idea what a terminal is', actually does require substantial overhead at their scale. In other words, while I appreciate that it's nice to fantasize about the single hacker making $$$ off a side project they built over a weekend, reality is far more nuanced. There exists these people, to be sure, but they are far and few between. Most of the time, big companies valued in the billions of dollars actually do need headcount to help keep that business running.
