Funding can influence a project pretty significantly. Even mastodons like Linus Torvalds had to obey politics. Tor Project has been subjected by the diversity politics pretty quickly. You would expect more independence from rebellious cryptopunks.

Funding can influence a project pretty significantly.

Not when done in a completely transparent manner in which the funding's objectives are clearly stated (e.g. https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/wikis/org/sponsors/Sponsor58 ).
