I don't get why they've started behaving do corporate recently
It's what happens to all companies when professional managers finally take over the entire control of the company. They have no values, no personality, no genuine vision or spirit to speak of.
A person who knows and is passionate about a topic can benefit from learning management when they get to leadership positions. But a professional manager who has never done a single productive or creative activity in their lives is an empty husk of a human being who will add no benefit to an organization. Buzzword rapping is not a valuable skill.
There are a fair bit of Mozilla engineers on Mastodon. They don't control stuff like rebrands, but at least they show that there are definitely still values in Mozilla. And in the end, they're the ones who do the work.
