Follow the Money. Who funds the devs obviously has influence, no matter what.

Example: If I choose vc or grant money then my primary duty is to those who funded me. If I choose not to chase grant money, then I have to be more accountable to the end users who are paying for a product or service that I am producing.

When the incentives are not aligned with the users, then you have this disconnect. Full Stop.
