I would happily pay monthly for Firefox - but not to Mozilla Corporation. Will Pay to developers, development support and operations - not to pad the CEO salary.

How are you expecting to run an entity with developers, support, and operations without any leadership?

I don't know if you have ever worked in a larger team that lacked someone to make decisions, take responsibility and set a strategy, but in my experience that is almost always a disaster.

Unfortunately, CEO is not always leadership.

Aside from that, leadership can come from the people doing the work. It is working in many cases.
