Thr udeal scenario would be for ethereum foundation to keep becoming more and more irrelevant. Why would they take on 'more' responsibility if the goal is decentralisation?
afaik, all clients are open source projects. And many are being funded by gitcoin grants now(crowdsourcing)
Because they earned $ 1 billion with the Ether presale [0], and if the community gives a billion dollars to a non-profit, the non-profit ought to deliver a usable product from that, not hide behind some handwaving of why that's the job of other people.
If they deliver a usable product that doesn't prevent anyone else from also doing so and thus achieving decentralization.
But it would mean that they actually do their job for the billion they were given.
