The biggest problem with Monero is that it's being lead by people with zero business sense. The team is infected with this misguided sense of "fairness" or similar garbage ideals.
So here's an open secret: I was C-level at a listed multinational for several years before leaving to start an import/export company (which is still in operation and is within the group of companies I am now chairman of). Just because I retain technical ability doesn't mean I don't also know how to reorient business units and cull dead products to better maximise a company's EBITDA.
Nonetheless, a FOSS project isn't a company, and breaking a social contract for the sole purpose of rewarding "investors" that did nothing more than bought some coins created by mathematics is...well...not going to happen.
