There's nothing snowflake'y about Devtools, Rust, Servo. Large, distributed, global OSS projects in the wild operate with fewer bespoke tools.

And if Mozilla's tools are so great, a healthy, large ecosystem around them would make a big difference.

I'm no expert here, so I'll defer to any Mozilla build and ci folks who want to chime in, but making that tooling top notch is a priority, and we've got a decent sized and super smart group of people working on it. Perhaps that's why the cost is high :)

What is the point of this conversation? To illustrate that I don't know enough about the internal details and can be repeatedly told that "someone else" knows why things are expensive? If so, I concede.

Compare Mozilla with other large scale OSS projects. Mozilla is not as special as you think on that front, the web platform is a hard but not unique implementation problem, and the costs are out of sync with what other projects require.

And yes, I have some expertise on this topic, despite your earlier trolling.

I HATE WHEN MOMMY AND DADDY ARGUE!
