It's more like "why aren't other implementations of an open protocol being funded or developed?" besides the reference implementation.

This is sometimes met with the answer "oh, it's too complex" or "I wouldn't trust another version". Well that in itself is an issue, maybe not for now, but for the future. Maybe in 10 years [company] will employ all Core devs and then prioritize their own initiatives. Then what?

I believe you can still run bitcoin v0.1 or core 21.0 if you don't like what they doing, don't you?

Probably can, but I don't see how that solves anything except keeping people on an outdated version that maybe contain inefficiencies and security issues.

Well if you running v29 and dont like v30 don't update. Another version could have inefficiencies and security issues too, no?

I like ppl telling core to fuck off but more versions doesn't solve the problem imho

Yeah, security issues could be introduced as well, but I think we're going further from the point that it's about incentive and development goals getting pushed onto a single codebase, i.e centralized codebase and no other options besides not upgrading
