You should be disclosing that Matt Mullenweg owns this website and is the CEO of Automattic when quoting him criticizing a competitor like this.
If Matt Mullenweg wants other companies to participate more, then WordPress needs to finally implement proper governance. Including not allowing Automattic employees to override WordPress teams, as was a reoccurring problem with the Marketing team before it was shut down, and having an Executive Director of WordPress that is employed by the WordPress Foundation instead of Automattic. A good starting point for that would be to release the conflict of interest policy that the Executive Director had said on multiple occasion was going to be released, but never was.
