Tech people will be mad but overall nobody will be able to do anything about it as they'll just ground-up rewrite eventually. The users won't care about the drama at all
Money is a bastard
I'd love to be wrong on it and I'm not just sitting here doom'n and gloom'n, I'm trying to ActivityPub-enable all of my projects as it happens! I do believe it's something to watch out for though

So this is quite unlikely, at least in most cases.
