Here is another perspective on the whole Automattic vs WP Engine thing for you. Since 2022, Automattic owns a share in InstaWP who, in their own words, want to be the AWS of Wordpress.

How's that for a fight against an evil corporation? :)

So there's a certain guy on YT who was recently talking about using unfair advantages to your benefit. And his example of one was... someone who was into fashion, spent thousands of hours doing research and only then thought she should launch a YT channel. If that is an unfair advantage, then the question is what kind of person one has to be to think that benefitting from long-term results of honest work is unfair.
