MODERATORS
Broadcom doesn't care. They exploit the lag time for very large companies to switch. In that time, they can set prices as high as they want, because the company won't go without licenses or support.
Yes, short term they will probably make a lot of money despite losing market share. But long term, it is one proprietary dependency that will be forever gone, unless open sourced.
