I can see only two groups who are absolutely desperate to get Gutenberg released as soon as they can:

1. Matt and the people he pays to praise GB
2. Wordpress' various competitors

The second group can see where Wordpress is heading with this GB thing and can't wait for it to be unleashed on the world, with the end result that they'll be getting more customers.

The sad thing about GB is not the fact that it will be forced upon millions of people who don't want it, it's the terrible project management (no roadmap), non-existent transparency (a11y people being ignored) and Matts unwillingness to just be honest and say it like it is: "I'm doing this for the money, not the users".

GB reminds me of my time in the enterprise world, when small, human companies would end up growing into soulless, lying behemoths of bureaucracy. And if you didn't drink the cool-aid then the HR-people would "let you go". This makes me sad.
