I have a relatively basic grasp of WordPress – over the years I've created a few sites hosted on Siteground, using free WordPress, and generally using either basic themes and adding some customisation or Elementor.
Could someone give me a summary of what's happening? I thought Matt M ran WordPress.com, which meant that him being nuts wouldn't affect wordpress.org, but I can tell I'm very much mistaken about that.
FYI I also don't fully understand what WPEngine is in comparison to the tools I use (Siteground, Elementor etc).
This youtube vid from Theo [t3.gg](http://t3.gg) is probably one of the fairest and most accurate explainers. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grZg-BEhKMI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grZg-BEhKMI)
Matt criticized WP Engine for not contributing enough to WordPress, demanded royalties, and restricted their access to [wordpress.org](http://wordpress.org)
