It gives you the ability to market to developers and post on HN without actually making it easy to host the open source version

It also assures customers who have concerns about the longevity of your company that, even if you folded, your product itself wouldn't just vanish. So it's a kind of insurance in addition to being a marketing strategy.

As somebody who's planning on going this route too, I love this blog post and will likely write/do something similar when I get there.

Big fan of Cal.com and other open source businesses like it.
