Some perspective ...

One developer (Ilya) vs. One businessman (Sam) -> Sam wins

Hundreds of developers threaten to quit vs. Board of Directors (biz) refuse to budge -> Developers win

From the outside it looks like developers held the power all along ... which is how it should be.

$$$ vs. Safety -> $$$ wins.

Employees who have $$$ incentive threaten to quit if that is taken away. News at 8.

Why are you assuming employees are incentivized by $$$ here, and why do you think the board's reason is related to safety or that employees don't care about safety? It just looks like you're spreading FUD at this point.

of course the employees are motivated by $$$ - is that even a question?

No, it's just counter to the idea that it was "employee power" that brought sam back.

It was capital and the pursuit of more of it.

It always is.
