Off-topic, but it makes me laugh that companies will list their “investors”, “advisors”, etc. on their company page, but not the people working there.

That said, Tailscale is one of the products that just works.

I agree it's silly, but worth noting is that the target audience for those pages are usually:

1. Potential customers

2. Potential investors

Both groups are a lot more swayable by social proof from seeing the "investors" than the devs as they infer a lot of credibility based on who has funded you. Similarly that's why you often see big company logos on marketing pages because it makes other customers more likely to buy. "<xyz> is too big to be wrong about this product"
