What you're describing is business source, not open source. Hashicorp chose to use open source and thus allow other companies to compete. Nobody forced them to, they could've just kept Terraform as closed or business source from the beginning. There's nothing wrong with doing so, only if you pull a bait and switch like Hashicorp did does it become a problem.
