I have never seen an acquisition be good for the users. I struggle to believe this one will be different

I'm sure it'll be fine. As long as you have the latest 90-class card you'll probably continue have nearly full functionality from the HF libraries. (Upgrade to enterprise gear for full functionality)
The fit is theoretically good (nvidia is model agnostic) but I can see then pushing the ecosystem increasingly towards cuda and some custom nvidia software packages for inference etc etc
Apple buying Workflow (became Shortcuts). Its users have a better, faster tool and got it soon after acquisition. And it has many more users now.
Was Workflow available on every platform running on every hardware provider?
I’m not sure your point, sorry.
Acquisition of GitHub let to increased downtimes, but also to unlimited private repos for the free tier.
Overall GitHub still got significantly worse since the acquisition. Downtime was essentially zero before.
The unlimited private repos for free tier would have happened anyways. You have to remember that this was around the time people were jumping ship from GitHub exactly because they didn't offer private repos for free. It was something many wanted, and they were actively seeking out other places that would give it to them.
... Which gitlab already had before github. And still does.
Truer words were never spoken. This is painfully true.
Yeah I'm afraid they will only keep cuda support for their software. Good thing it's all Open source
