I'm not sure I agree. Any project run by a commercial entity can be broken beyond recognition by said entity trying to squeeze out every ounce of money. This danger is not present with a community-led version. Sure, development might slow down or stop, but the same will happen once the commercial entity loses interest.
If you use commercially-led software, you have to trust the publisher to stay aligned with your interests for the entire duration of you using it. This might go okay, but it might not - and there isn't any commercial entity who won't start squeezing when they feel necessary. So why expose myself to the whims of someone who might flip at any second?
