> Adobe is one of those companies that doesn’t have a great track record of being nice, fair or kind. See for example, their “year subscription billed monthly” lockin.

You must have had some concerns when other large companies were given board seats of other open source products because they had thrown hundreds of thousands of dollars? No?

You said 'one of those companies'. So I'm sure there are companies worse than Adobe that are already doing it. Then we will later complain that they will use this as a way of controlling the project.

Don't blame you for your skepticism, but once the money rolls in, then everything is forgotten; as always.
