That's just because they're using a different scheme to fund development. SQLite has its paid support and consortium, while Turso is leaning on cloud hosting and the paid support that comes with that. Both can still be used standalone and unsupported, completely for free.
Turso is arguably positioned slightly better as a standalone product seeing as it's using a more traditional open source "bazaar" model, as opposed to SQLite's source available "cathedral" model.
