Our seed round was 100% made of SAFE, so VCs did not have the power to force us to do anything.

The sentence in the blog post is a tad misleading. I suspect François is not really talking about VCs that had already invested in quickwit, but about the usual flow of other VCs who contacted us, to know about the company and be part of our eventual series A.

It just generally felt like we were "at a crossing".

No one twisted our arm.

Thanks for the clarification, and sorry for jumping to an incorrect conclusion based on vague wording. (I would edit my comment accordingly but I can't anymore.)
