Maybe there’s context I’m missing here - my only context is as a (reluctant) user of JWT, but I don’t see how the opening claim is substantiated:

So someone wrote an article that was negative on JOSE/JWT, and is now starting a company, which seems to have little to do with PASETO or JWT. So what? Where is the rent seeking?
Maybe I’m missing the bigger picture, as is sometimes the case when a post intended for an audience who are members of a mailing list shows up here without more context. But as it is it just reads like a jealous rant.
