In Wikipedia Mozilla expenses are listed at 420 million total and 220 million of that is software development expenses.

The unspoken reality is that a large number of people have figured out a way to be paid by software companies to not deliver the core product.

Logically that must be due to a combination of public relations, legal bloat, or sociopathy.

In some sense, legal bloat in the current world is a necessity, so table that one temporarily.

Public relations are any sort of venture to improve the public image of the company. Why does a company need any sort of public relations that's not associated with performance or design of the core product? I would argue any dollar spent here is sociopathic; someone has created a perception that the core product would suffer due to factors other than the core product performance. "Mozilla will suffer because we don't have cute red and blue balloons on our homepage. Competitor X has cute balloons. We are f**ed!"

Direct sociopathy is "Mozilla needs good leadership, like me. I should be part of Mozilla because of my ideas."

So in reality, at least two of the three cases presented originate in sociopathy.

And the kinda point is, the company would do just fine without either.
