This is something that has never happened before. When you need open source for promotion and fundraising, you embrace open source; when you want to make money, you kick open source to the curb. That's what we see.

There is a need for a funding base especially when a project grows beyond a single person and needs a team to be maintained.
Either this “somehow” comes from the community or it comes from the investors. If it’s the latter then eventually the pull is more towards revenue.
Synadia was clearly open to being supported by community contributions. But since no-one who used NATS wanted to maintain NATS, a decision has to be made about how to support the project in the long-term.
