Excellent take by me! :-) The fact that many Bitcoin Core developers are paid by someone, when that someone is NOT YOU, does not make YOU a customer that gets to demand things. You need to hire developers directly if you want to work on your behalf.

Ridiculous take by @Sjors Provoost & Shinobi. Core is well funded & will continue to be even moreso as more countries get involved with Bitcoin.

Do people that donate get a say?

No. Donations are not a contract for performance of specific tasks or the creation of a fiduciary relationship. They are appreciated of course.

Are you being contracted by someone to work on core?

Developers should be careful thinking that the only way to overpower them is to outcompete them. That’s not how the world works. If core believes that they can’t be competed with and it proves true, then “powerless” people might look to other solutions. No one has to outcompete you if you are no longer there.
