I can’t say I agree. It’s more likely they see the money they’d be leaving on the table and it helps that this makes them look more amiable for future acquisitions.
I still think it’s crazy that the same guy who created Wikipedia also founded Fandom, and I believe is still involved. Considering what Wikipedia is and its utility, it almost seems like an incompatible ideology to have anything to do with both at the same time. I guess he’s got to make money somehow…
