Now GCP, AWS and Azure just sell a superior managed version for cheaper. So they lost their income stream.
Open source products tried to change the license so the big guys would at least have to pay them something to make money on their work.
Better stated, of course, but you get the point.
The open source license is designed to guarantee your liberties. The moment you start to remove some liberties you have neutered it.
Meta's LlaMa for example is "OSS" but under a custom license which effectively prohibits hyperscalers from using it
The real reason might be VCs. The companies going closed source have raised from VCs and they are pushed to more and more growth just changing licenses and taking control.
