    They don’t contribute engineers out of the kindness of their hearts. They do it for entirely selfish reasons — to have a large influence in industry standards, and the competitive advantages that enables.

    Do you also believe Google created Chrome for “freedom”, instead of to gain a competitive advantage in web and ad tech standards?
