Redhat was bought by IBM for 34 Billion dollars.

IBM knew their proprietary crap could not compete with FOSS alternatives.

Unity could make plenty of money on the asset store, and would never have to worry about Godot eating their lunch if they open-sourced their game engine. But this type of stuff will force people over to Godot.
