Developing from scratch yes, but several decent open source renderers exist. I'd love to see someone grab Servo and polish it to a fully usable state (I think it's something like 75% of the way there).

The issue also isn't Mozilla trying to make money, it's Mozilla trying to make money in the stupidest way possible, or even worse actively wasting money like with this AI slop. There's also the issue of what Mozilla is spending on. It came out a little while back how much their executives are making and it's completely ridiculous. They could afford multiple full time devs with just the money the CEO makes for making the worst decisions imaginable.
