I'm not sure that's the case. It has an ever expanding budget and picks up new political causes often.

  How does either of those things make it like a business or chasing profit?

    The specific attribute mentioned is the pressure to continue to grow, instead of executing a simple mission. Wikipedia doesn't do that at all, and clearly feels pressure to grow power and expand into new domains.

      The last time wikimedia really did that was wikidata and that was a decade ago. Although i suppose the ongoing abstract wikipedia stuff is an example of that. By and large i dont think there has been much in way of expansion attempts. Most of them are from long ago.

          What does that have to do with expanding into new domains? Its just a restructuring of how some of the funding works.
