Having structure to decision-making doesn't have anything to do with having a profit motive. Asahi nor myself as an outsider have brought up money.
It sounds like the implicit answer to "Does Linux want Asahi contributions" is "low priority". Which is fine if that's communicated.
I sense you have been involved in these discussions already and have a strong opinion about the specifics of this topic. I don't mean that in a bad way.
You continue to misunderstand open source. "Linux" in incapable of wanting things. Linus as the quality gatekeeper of the main repository cannot tell anyone what to do; his power is purely saying "I won't merge that". The project is what the project contributors do, and nobody can tell them as a group what to do. It's herding cats, not a business meeting.
I have very little personal interest in Asahi, I am not really part of that "conversation", but I dislike outsiders coming in and expecting to dictate how something that predates them should work. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that doesn't mean anyone else has to listen to it. If you want to understand, read linux-kernel the mailing list and watch people like Al Viro work (Minimum realistic time allotment: multiple months).
