The problem is they see that and think, well that's at least partially true of Google and Meta too and yet they print money. They probably know their own history and culture makes it harder for them but that must obviously be their goal or they would make no sense as a large company, if they just want to be a good host for communities they could be a company of 10-15 people and live off donations and a low level of ads. That ship has sailed. This same growth pattern has killed almost every "cool" tech company in the last 20 years.
