Wouldn't these be positive points towards how Wasmer is running the company? They are trying to keep their open source product alive by marketing and finding a way to build revenue, to continue to fund development.
In the end, if they fail, it's all open source, someone can fork and continue it if the demand is there. Until then, they are the ones doing it, and doing it well imo.
