The open source projects that people/businesses really care about are funded. Isn't a non-funded open source project just one an open source project that no one really cares about?
I think there is a really subtle line that she has missed by assuming all open source projects developers use are really important. There probably should be at least three categories: (1) really important projects (funded / managed), (2) projects that are not really that important (not funded / managed by community) and (3) those that are not important (not funded / not managed).
