Companies like Vercel, Lovable, and Stackblitz should pay salaries to each of these engineers. Their business succeeded only because Tailwind exists.
I agree with the sentiment that companies should help fund open source they depend on, but I think it's a stretch to say those business succeeded "only" because of Tailwind. It's a great project, although I'm pretty sure they would have figured out a way to work with CSS without it.
Welcome to the internet, most of it is build by unknown OSS developers, how many people will you go ask these companies to pay for?
Companies like Vercel, Lovable, and Stackblitz should dissolve because their existence is a net negative for humanity.
