Even as a not for profit they would need cashflow.

Yes but they would only need enough to keep the lights on and pay the engineers.

When you're a for-profit company, especially a public one (which I believe they're looking to be soon), you can't just maintain homeostasis. Your investors want growth every quarter.

Conceivably if they stayed non-profit then they could charge just enough to maintain the project, and they wouldn't necessarily have to have ads.
