That WOULD be great, IF they open sourced the server side. Otherwise, it's just one bad day away from some manager pulling the old switcheroo, and making the server a paid "pro" thing.

JetBrains IDEs are commercial, proprietary software. In my opinion well worth the price.

They won't open source it but I imagine they will allow you to run a version of it inside your corporate firewall, at a premium price, just like their 'Code With Me' server.

Or, more in vein of recent business trends, some company acquiring the technology, and THEN making it pay-to-play.

Don't forget that we are not just talking about the IDE, but increasingly being integrated with cloud-first tools like Space ...
The server and client is by design separated, which potentially allows to run the server on some other host, and remotely connect to it.
But you can host your own server. And you can also just run it locally, and locally connect to it. You can even bundle it together.
I don't see how this is bad. Only if the server part would not be available to you, then yes, sure, this is bad. But otherwise, this is a very nice and flexible design.
