Wikia, as was said elsewhere, is one of the biggest Mediawiki users out there and therefore has, in my opinion, probably the best incentive to make sure that Mediawiki develops in a way that makes sense for the users.
And what better way to do that then to have people come down to the Wikia office and work on improving Wikia's software, while the Wikimedia Foundation pays for not only the developers, but rent on the space they
use
while developing!
Who cares if Wikia benefits? It's the benefit to WMF that matters. As long as it is an undeniably good business decision for WMF, the fact that it's also a good deal for Wikia doesn't factor into it.
It doesn't factor into it? You'd make a terrible used car salesman!
Anyway, I think you're reading more into what I wrote than I intended.
