The thing is that if a FOSS project happened to have the ill fortune of starting its life as the side project of a Google employee, getting the obvious, straightforward answer to important governance questions requires supplicating oneself before a hulking behemoth of bureaucracy designed to spy on everyone, undermine democracy, and launder accountability for all decision-making.
And I don't really like that!
