Sure. Some ideas:
Prices will go up. They will split out basic features into 'premium' models. They will no longer sell cheaper models entirely. They will find some way to shoehorn a subscription service since that's what every investor wants now. RPI Os will be littered with 'partnerships' and they'll find a way to make it difficult or unpleasant to use anything else to avoid them. They'll rush to do yearly releases instead of focusing on quality and support. I wouldn't be surprised if they break their guarantee to keep manufacturing products until a certain date.
