What about development costs ?

  You mean for software features and the like? Some good work has been done there in the background – it's not stuff that readers would notice, but contributors do. It wouldn't be fair to say that all the money has been mis-spent – there are lots of people working at the Foundation who are doing good work and who are not getting rich – especially bearing in mind the cost of living in parts of the US (though this begs the question whether the work could not be done more cost-effectively elsewhere).

    Note - many wmf staff do not live in the usa. Some who do do not live in expensive parts of the usa.

  The last time Wikimedia Foundation released a new project website was WikiData in 2012, more than 10 years ago. Okay well maybe that's not fair. They did recently update the CSS for Wikipedia itself ... I don't know how many millions of dollars they spent on that...

    There's also the visual editor, which I think got a mixed reception, but I like it for quick edits.
