It's been many years since you could build and maintain a new browser rendering engine without a lot of money. It's labor intensive enough that Microsoft decided it wasn't worth it. Today, all the money for this comes from only two companies in the world: Apple and Google (since Mozilla's main source of income is its deal with Google, we have three widely used rendering engines, but the money really comes from two companies). Now what's interesting about Ladybird is it's this big pile of BSD licensed code that looks like it would be a good start if you wanted to build a fourth engine. Is there someone out there who has a lot of money and a reason they would want to spend it on developing another engine? I.e. they don't want their fate owned by Apple/Google or the existing engines are somehow inadequate for their needs? This is the really interesting question.
