I’ve seen that some instances have already done it preemptively.

    I believe there are many instances were corporate involvement has added to open source. A lot of the Linux kernel is maintained by corporations.

      Sure, but the Linux kernel is an extremely time consuming thing to maintain and is not worth privatizing for most companies as it rarely is a source of profit instead of infrastructure. There is little competitive edge to doing so. Meta however has a very good reason to bring in a bunch of new users to their platform and theirs only. Considering their history, it is reasonable to be distrustful.
