Maybe that's true, but in the long run, I'll stick with the "community" of multiple SaaS providers all awkwardly sharing a permissive license than the one provider who took their ball and went home with it. Ultimately, the companies involved have to somewhat care about their users because the product needs to be good or no one will use it. The alternative is core Terraform or the first party's IaC options, which are all more closed and more don't care about the user. Community may not be the #1 goal, but it's certainly on the list of things that has value about the project, both to the users and the maintainers.
