Mr. M thought it's mere wastage of money. The reason being, the role of a 'Programmer Encouragement Teacher' is not widely recognized or well-known worldwide. Many people aren't aware of it. Finn Lewis has been the first one to advertise this unusual job opening so openly. Since he is willing to do this, being the biggest boss in the company, even if other stockholders or the CEO have objections, they cannot object.
Anyway, this doesn't influence the major corporate strategies, it's just... a prodigal act. These people have somewhat gotten accustomed to Lewis's style, including the leaders from Activision Blizzard. They have not forgotten how much money Lewis spent to acquire Activision Blizzard, and how he ended up not completing the acquisition before purchasing company T.
