That doesn’t work in a non profit contexts . Most non profit missions are well, not profitable in the first place.
While the Mozilla corporation is for profit entity , the goals of the foundation and reason Mozilla foundation /corporation exists is not to make or maximise profit .
Non profits generally run on the principles of sustainability I.e are they spending more than endowments or they drawing on the principal amount etc.
In Mozilla case drop in revenue/ donations resulting in cancelled projects is per se not abnormal , but which projects are shelved depends on how the mission is interpreted.
It is perfectly within the foundation remit to infuse capital into the corporation if they had more money and they also believed the work of the corporation is more important than some foundation projects to the overall foundation’s mission.
Just like NASA cancels other projects when one project like JWST goes a lot overbudget , with approvals from congress if required .
Clearly the foundation did not think corporation projects were worth saying over others , we can debate that , but they did and do have that choice
