Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand I understand that bitcoin can benefit from more devs and this will certainly help with that. On the other hand, I worry this could turn political in a bad way. Am I wrong in thinking this could be a way for someone (or some company) with a lot of money to hijack the development of bitcoin to their interest?

and if? companies are free to do so. that's what it means to be permissionless. in fact companies have been doing this since forever (see block size wars) they implemnted their shitty hardforks, and big surprise, no one wants to use their software. Bitcoin doesn't care

I see your point agree with it at least on the short-ish term. For it to hold on the long term I believe there would need to be a significant number of bitcoiners with enough knowledge to see through the BS.
I hope you are right though.
