The opposite is the case.
Commercial software has a higher risk of becoming unavailable, because of missing licenses, acquisitions, insolvencies and other things that simply do not affect FOSS.
I have been using Audacity, Gimp, OpenOffice / LibreOffice, Thunderbird and Firefox for many years now and I don't see them disappearing anytime soon.

The reasons are not FOSS or privacy, but underinvestment and incompetence.
