Notch is said to be a deeply unhappy person, or at least he was a few years ago. He also made a hard right-wing turn. https://money.cnn.com/2015/08/31/technology/minecraft-creato... https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/04/online-conduct-leaves...
Is that problematic in and of itself?

Probably because its a lot of work and risk. With such a high profile, controversial points quickly become a lot of trouble. Also, there's a lot of overhead with running and securing the site. So, why bother if you don't have anything interesting to say on there? They are big enough to have Wikipedia host their CV.
Tim Cook and Elon Musk each have twitter accounts. All those points apply except running the site. There's WordPress VIP for that.

Last paragraph is the reason why I don't have kids
I entered into parenthood with similar trepidation, but my fears turned out to be unjustified. It definitely means having different experiences, but it's waaaay more fun than I thought it would be.
We have two kids and I do not regret one second what we have today, and one second what we used to have.
Equally superbe times in our lives, I wild not go back, and I wild not change what we did.

He still believes in the QAnon and PizzaGate conspiracy. That is kind of “problematic”.
Yet I couldn't clearly claim that he does on the basis of this, as it's just confusing to me, no sure whether that's his flavor of irony. Do you have some more evidence to prove that he believes these things? I had previously seen him as weird and provocative, but not definitely right-wing.

He has a very strong reputation but does he have more power now? Being CEO of Microsoft when he was was powerful enough to get congress interested...
His foundation has massive political clout, especially in developing countries. And he has no shareholders to answer to.

It's funny how Larry Page very much seems to like his privacy these days... after taking it from everyone else.
While it may be true that what Google has become played a major role in taking everyone's privacy, I don't think it's fair to blame this on Larry. Much like Larry chose to remove himself from the public stage, so, too can we stop using Google products. I realize it's a bit more complicated than this, but I'm not fond of your take here.

Zuckerberg owns Facebook in a way that no other major company (to my knowledge) is owned. He is a monarch that can override any and all board politics. While power sloshes around in other companies by tug of war, Zuckerberg's word is final. Given this, I don't think it's unusual that Zuckerberg would stick around. He, with Facebook, explore new possibility space in how a company can be run that few other companies in…
> Zuckerberg owns Facebook in a way that no other major company (to my knowledge) is owned. He is a monarch that can override any and all board politics. So can brin/page. They own more than 50% of the voting rights of alphabet. Zuckerburg modeled facebook's IPO and voting share structure after Google's IPO and their share structure.
