Now that Awesome Motive has purchased Thrive Themes, what lies ahead? Should users be worried?

“WPJohnny” at an article you can see here: https://wpjohnny.com/awesome-motive-isnt-awesome/#comment-302869 has this to say:
The spirit of open-source is innovation and problem-solving.
2 principles I feel AM couldn’t be any further from. As much involved as AM is in the open-source WordPress space, I feel they couldn’t possibly be any further from these core principles.
They aren’t innovating shit.
That’s something more commonly done by lone programmers or business owners with a unique problem they have to solve on their own…for their OWN needs. AM isn’t a lone programmer or business owner, they’re just a copycat business ripping off competitor ideas or buying out companies outright. (A more successful version of WPMU DEV, a notorious “me too” conglomerate in WordPress history.)
They aren’t solving problems.
Well…not unless you’re counting “making money” as a problem to be solved. Cuz that’s they only problem they seem to be solving to me. They acquire businesses (rather than building them these days) and then immediately go…hmmmm, how can we maximize profits here? Plain as day to see.
In a strategic move to solidify its position in the WordPress and online marketing sector, Awesome Motive, boasting a user base exceeding 21 million websites, has acquired Thrive Themes—a leader in small business growth tools for WordPress. While the merger promises innovation and improved solutions, concerns have emerged among the 200,000 Thrive Themes users. As the transition progresses, questions center around potential changes to their trusted tools and the brand’s commitment to core values. With Shane Melaugh expressing optimism about joining the Awesome Motive family, existing users anxiously await details on how this acquisition will impact the future of Thrive Themes and their online success.
