Your interpretation is flawed. The APS has invested significant time and trouble to support and preserve the present TMF, doing everything possible to avoid what might be construed a hostile takeover or a power grab. Evidently, that effort was not entirely successful, although I'm baffled as to why.
I'd encourage you to read this associated thread, particularly the posts made on April 23, 2019:

Ok then. Thanks George for pointing out the
other thread where this has been being discussed for
months now. In order to help explain why that effort
was not entirely successful, in my case it's because
the thread in question titled "Forum Problems" resides
as a sub-topic of the heading "TMF Tech Support".
Turns out all of this had been simmering away for
months in the background, completely unknown to myself, and likely many others too. Had it not been for Raphael giving us a heads-up this would still be an unknown issue. Now, with the other thread clearly pointed
out, that effort is more entirely successful.
