“Occam's razor is the problem-solving principle that recommends searching for explanations constructed with the smallest possible set of elements.”
Here is a list of projects that lost funding:

These are all projects that could’ve been funded by the ark donation. Bitcoin core is only one of them. This future you want, which I also want, is not going to happen with the tools we currently have. Lightning still fucking sucks. Businesses still don’t accept bitcoin as payment. Do you think this future you want will happen without btc pay server and lightning improvements?
And if you think that more money going to bitcoin core will break bitcoin or create some type of bug, then it isn’t anti fragile money. Remember that you don’t have to update your node. The bitcoin core team can’t force you to use the version of bitcoin they want. It’s a free market.
