The drama between Matt Mullenweg and WPEngine is a sh*tshow of epic proportions. This is not good for the WordPress nor open source community. It is damaging to WordPress developers, plugin developers and providers and others who host WordPress sites. 20 years of good has been trashed in a single week.
WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg calls WPEngine (which has always been better at marketing that services) “A cancer to WordPress” and urges the community to switch providers.
Ah yes, the “Play-Doh” experiment from 2015 is proven true. (In 2015 we had to get an Android phone for testing and had to install Facebook.

It was immediately deleted from the Android phone)

The fact that Google has to do this tells you everything you need to know about Chrome and every single Google product.
