It probably has to do with the type of burner I'm going to guess.
We've had both induction and electric stoves for our whole lives. And the home we recently moved into has a fancy dancy natural gas stove with star shaped burners.
It is night and day compared to anything else we've used before, water boils so much faster, I can actually sear a pen full of vegetables now instead of just making them mushy.
Honestly I love it. I just wish the hood wasn't so shitty and actually had a hood to capture all of the output from the stove.
The remainder of the executive team is paid what appears to be a fairly reasonable salary for the industry, low even.
The biggest cost ($6mill) is paid by the for profit Mozilla corporation.
Browser development is crazy hard, and expensive, work. Mozilla has honestly done a TON with the resources at hand. Google over here spending hundreds of millions for Chrome
It just sucks that they are seeing financial pressures that drive them into the profit corner.
Protocols are much more difficult to create and implement.
The barrier for technical ability and maturity is much higher. Which is why you don't see them as often, and when you do see them they tend to suck, have massive gaps, or some other significant failing that prevents them from really scaling out.
Building reliable and robust protocols with a hobby project is a nearly impossible task, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of minds over a long period of time to settle on the specifications. And just as long to actually implement it.
Usually this requires some sort of funding and dedicated resources from the get-go. Which many of these projects lack.
Because breaking things is easy and building things is hard? Also doesn't help when nearly half of your elected representatives work against building things.
