> Who is the loser here?

When you have big money then you think like big money. What people are angry about is WMF becoming too big and the heads managing this budget becoming independent of the actual foot soldiers. It's not about starving wikipedia, it's about not making it bigger than it needs to be, because the bigger you are, the more problems you have.

> who the F cares that they could have spent that money in a slightly more optimized way?

It's not about optimizing stuff, it's about not growing into a monster.
