EOS Mainnet Release - Why did Block One Need to Raise 4 Billion?

So with the mainnet release today, for code which is already on GitHub. Which won't be maintained, developed or have any further association with Block One need to crowdfund 4 Billion dollars of ETH?Does anyone know what these funds go toward / provide ? It seems like they've pushed the code and have absolved themselves of all responsibly, regardless if there's bugs or problems.Will the mainnet even go well due to the need for block publishers to be assigned and agreed. I dont know too much into it and this is not an attack, just what I understand so far
