That's a pessimistic take to say that Automattic will close up Beeper and make it a worse a product.

I think it's more of a criticism of asking the question as if that was ever going to be given as an answer, regardless of what the actual answer is.
in what scenario do you see anyone giving the negative answer truthfully?

I think the flavor of the answer says a lot. A vague negative answer will make me suspicious, as will one based in good intentions and moonbeams. But a negative answer rooted in principle and mentioning specific choices is one I'll take more seriously.
