I suspect it's the opposite. TensorFlow in source will never be as fast as the TPU cloud with custom processors, so it won't be as suitable for serious high volume production stuff. It's more like a hook into the TPU ecosystem.

If TensorFlow is open source then there's nothing stopping AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, etc. from making chips that can integrate with TensorFlow. Other than the fact that it's hard, of course.
