If Kuma gains traction, they can later offer additional capabilities in Kuma to swap Envoy with Kong (their API gateway) as my guess is that Kong API gateway is their cash cow at the moment. (of course they can potentially make money from Kuma via enterprise support, training, etc if Kuma goes mainstream).
These are purely my guess. From a user point of view, not a bad idea having Kuma in addition to Istio and other open-source/commercial alternatives.
Good luck with Kuma!
