The "that depend on it" is a past tense analysis. When those "cash-flush multinationals" need to roll out the next version of their product, are they going to continue to bet on a "Blender-style non-profit"?

Or are they just going to ship an iOS app like everyone else since "everyone knows web sucks on Apple now" and "everyone has an iPhone anyway"?

Presumably these companies will continue to want the business of the majority non-iOS-user planet, plus there’s all the companies that have integrated Chromium into their desktop tech stacks by way of Electron and CEF. Most of these companies probably already ship an iOS app anyway.
