The situation of interest is when they are no longer interested in doing it or change the terms of the contract under you... which is what is happening right now with Jetbrains. Wouldn't you like to have a way out when they do that?

I dont see the big issue with Jetbrains: the product is still available, still works, is still supported and pretty much costs the same. It's just a pricing model difference. And you can still develop without it so it's not a critical tool.

And if it's really such a problem... then stop using it? I dont know what else to say. What exactly is at risk here?
