The majority of it’s funding is from various US entities. Even the whole concept was born from US military. But that really doesn’t mean anything these days. As an open source project, you take money from whoever wants to give it to. It’s not like users who spend hundreds of dollars on proprietary software per month will give you any.

And it was created without encryption be default (which was discussed at the time).
The argument was hardware couldn’t handle the load of encryption at the time. Hahahaha, riiiight.
