Mitchell Baker has “a family to feed”.

(IIRC her salary increased something like 10 folds over the past 15 years or so)

Edit: It has jumped from $490k[1] to $6.25M[2] from 2009 to 2024.

Edit 2: by looking the figures up, I learned that she's gone at last, good riddance (though I highly doubt her successor is going to take a 12-fold pay cut)

It bothers me they can't even seem to design a user interface that looks like it came out of the last decade. Thunderbird is an even bigger mess.
