Yes this is likely. However we can have our cake and eat it too, companies can host an instance of an open source service. Like Gitlab does

EDIT, yes I am aware that there are some non open parts in Gitlab.com

I thought this was interesting to re-read in light of this news, so I've resubmitted it for discussion:
