> That's 50 people serving the needs of 1,000,000. [...] that means that every single member of the Flutter team is responsible for the needs of 20,000 Flutter developers! That ratio is clearly unworkable for any semblance of customer support.
Ever heard of e.g. curl? Because a billion users use your software does not mean that you have to talk to a billion users.
IMO, the entire number counting argument is beside the point. Workable dev count/user count ratio varies depending on circumstances. A better way would have been that the "in-house Flutter team is slow to accept outside contributions so I'm forking it".
