The thoughts on commercialization are a hypothetical. As I said in my original comment, it's off the table (though I gave other reasons than being employed by Google). I'm just saying that if there were a revenue stream, then I'd be incentivized very differently (and more in line with what users need) than purely as a labor-of-love open source project.

And yes, if there were a good reason to, Google could bring considerable resources (including marketing) to bear.

No worries. I somehow didn't pick up on it being a thought experiment. Long day I guess. :)
