That's still a common structure used by billionaires to justify reaping millions of dollars in revenue and still claim, "but I own a non-profit". Also, to say the nonprofit controls the profit part would require the governance and the management hierarchies to be separate to avoid conflict of interests. But this has never been the case. Now they're becoming a public benefit company, it will be even less the case, with both boards being one and the same. This will effectively keep the good-will façade while allowing them to lift the profit caps for their friends. It's all PR bullshit.
