Not sure if you're familiar with the state of 3D browser graphics when this project started; it was not good. Even by the time I came to the party in the mid 2010's mrdoob had been at it for a while. I was trying to build visual, interactive modeling software for the energy industry, competing with big enterprise software and still remember my first boardroom demo when we bluescreened their computer with a "web app". My point is you frame this like he planned to capitalized on it and was really lucky, but based on the context I think you've got it backwards. Mrdoob had already poured so much work and effort into this it would have been a foolish & unsustainable strategy if it was a way to "get clients and a great job". That's like deciding to do a startup as the best way to get really rich. I find it hard to believe given the consistent energy and progress of three.js that it's the product of someone with a "lottery winning" mentality.
