I think he means insurance in the sense that if he wants to use it (for whatever reason) it's there. But BBEdit, while proprietary software, doesn't make proprietary files. They're just text files. So if BareBones went insane and turned BBEdit into a front-end for TikTok, your files will still just be text files. Even BBEdit's "Project" file is just a text file.
