So much so that the only two other significant investors in building the web platform are Samsung with it's hardware monopoly and Mozilla which is a non-profit.

Why don't you take a look for yourself https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2016/2016_Mozilla_Audited_Financial_Statement.pdf … and tell me. Looks like we spent around half of that on "software development".
-
An audit is not the right document for identifying cost savings. I'd be happy to look at Mozilla's private books and identify prospective savings, though.
-
How about at the really high level? Should we have fewer developers (work different? work harder?) a smaller marketing budget (count on word of mouth?) or fewer office things (cheaper chairs?).

I don't really understand the obsession with Mixed Reality, which is another area where the major players have a massive heads up. I respect the people working on it a lot but am perplexed by the prioritization.
-
There's also quite a bit spent on IT (afaict) because of aging internal infrastructure that doesn't even work that well.
-
From an employee standpoint, I see IT as better than anything I've experienced in my 18 years of Mozilla employment across three organizations. I'm especially proud of how we're able to support a globally distributed employee and volunteer base with great tools and other support.

As a "volunteer" (whatever the heck that means - it's not actually how other large OSS projects describe contributors), I'm delighted when the projects I work on use industry standard tools and frustrated when I need to interact with Mozilla's tools.

Can you say more about this? Do you mean "move to github already" or something else?
