Yes, definitely. The cost to build out and maintain any middle ground solution must be unprofitable for the majority of business models.
Ultimately this creates opportunities for down-market service providers. Mid-large companies outsource support to contractors who will provide support for terraform in addition to 20 other things.
It makes sense to turn down money if the administrative overhead of taking it will cost more. If I have to spend a couple of months negotiating a license/service agreement with your legal department and then chase your AP people for a couple months more to get my invoice paid, the the couple of $K you are willing to pay are not really worth it. And unfortunately that how things really work.
