>Did you really expect Mozilla to care about Servo?

Yes. Servo represented a major technological differentiation from Chromium-based browsers while remaining competitive if not superior. A triumph in any real sense, not just for Mozilla but for everyone who cared about the future of the web.

>I'm sorry, but to them it was a experimental toy that didn't make them any money and they saw it as a cost center.

WebRender was part of that experimental toy, and it shipped to production years ago.

Cutting costs via way of sacking R&D is a type of short-term thinking that's so devoid of foresight it boggles the mind.

In nearly 2 decades a high 90s percentage of their profit has been search deals for Firefox which is where a lot of the stuff from Servo ended up so I'm not sure it could be construed as unsurprising or useless.
