IAs soon as your own company would profit and get more orders/work/whatever you expecting — you would have less to none time for Sailfish. Or am I wrong?

It's an insult to all us engineers (and some support functions), dare I say pioneering type of people who aren't laid off, who's been pushing hours, effort, sweat and a lot of tears since the start that we can't continue Jolla/SailfishOS when Jolla/SailfishOS is as much our effort and child as it is that of the founders. Sometimes the best thing founders can do is step aside and let people do what they're good at. In fact, for a very long while, we didn't even have internal marketing, all subcontracted. The power is in the networks around us.
I would really disagree on that. It sounds more as quit while on Top.
And a pretty good example is CEO cutting his salary to 50% to keep afloat (Satoru Iwata)

And try to understand me, I'm not anti or negative here. It's just a reality. Any person that does things half way and quit can tell it's for good of the product or general aim.

Same as in open letter from Jolla it says that they found out about finance problems next day after Slush. Though people left the boat before. The question is if the date of "finance problems realization" is a lie and was not passed to community (as with most problems) and after turned around as a hero story or are there other reasons people are leaving and there is something that got rotten from inside for a while already.
