I was speaking in broader terms. If the commercial entity behind UCCNC loses interest what becomes of it ? Other things have come and gone since I became interested in this hobby, Linuxcnc was around then and continues to grow now and is actively developed. As developers have come and gone from the linux project new ones step in to add features they want or need, an example being the trajectory planner Tormach contributed. Linuxcnc allowed them the freedom to do so. I'm strictly a user and contribute nothing but certainly benefit.
So when I said 'freedom' I was being a bit cheeky as there is more to Linuxcnc than 'free'. The open source software combined with the open source hardware trend will continue to gain ground imo, thinking here of projects like grbl and MachineKit.
Anyway this is starting to branching into the philosophical and not much to do with the original question. I'll only add it's good to see Centroid in this market, more options is a good thing.
Anyone who says "It only goes together one way" has no imagination.
