I’m not sure if he does. That post is interesting - I didn’t know he was stepping away.

Not totally away:

So, dear Redis community, today I’m stepping back as the Redis maintainer. My new position will be, on one side, an “ideas” person at Redis Labs, in order to provide inputs for new Redis possibilities: I’ll continue to be part of the Redis Labs advisory board.

That was less than two months ago. Can this be a coincidence? Or did he know that a bunch of new money was in the offing and didn't like the direction things were about to go?

I don't know, but there are several different assumptions we could make - another being 'oh someone else took over and immediately sought a bunch of money'. The truth is probably a blend of everything we could dream up.
