Full disclosure, I work for FusionAuth, a commercial auth vendor which sponsored NextAuth.
People gotta eat. It's not like NextAuth didn't have commercial support from sponsors. I'm not privy to the details of how much money was involved, but you can read other comments about Clerk and Vercel and how they influenced the project.
