Their FOSS local inference service didn't go anywhere.

This isn't Anaconda, they didn't do a bait and switch to screw their core users. It isn't sinful for devs to try and earn a living.

Another perspective:

If you earn a living using something someone else built, and expect them not to earn a living, your paycheck has a limited lifetime.

“Someone” in this context could be a person, a team, or a corporate entity. Free may be temporary.
