I'm glad the founders have found a way out. This is key when launching a product that never really took off. However, I never understood why this product existed in the first place.

This is represented by this sentence on the marketing website: "The new standard for...". For future companies: before claiming to be the new standard, please be the new standard in the first place. That being said, for educational purposes, making the code publicly available is a nice gesture and I see a lot of values. I wish more companies would do that so the industry as a whole learn from the talents of others - because yes, these people are incredibly talented.
