I'm surprised reading this article. The blame on trillion dollar companies who use his software everyday without paying a penny back is no where to be found. Yes the way he asks for money seems unusual but if i were in position like that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be this nice to anyone.
What's the need for a heartless article? The entire gist of it is that he could go rogue any day cause he is demanding money for his work. Why should this be allowed to happen in the first place? Why don't the browser vendors either sponsor him or maintain their own polyfill libraries?
The fact he refuses others to join as contributors is repeatedly mentioned as a bad thing. But why do all companies keep using it for all these years knowing this? What were their CSOs doing then? Was this not an issue before using it for so long?
Its infuriating to see that the first call to action is to asses this situation as a security risk and not to help the guy who is suffering. It's one thing to be indifferent to suffering but what's the need to be incredibly cruel?!
