Yup. The fact that they even mentioned this shows their true motivation behind the piece. It’s not that OSS is bad, it’s THAT OSS is bad (for us)

It's also essentially a public admission that OpenTofu REALLY worries them, instead of just something to sit out or combat by making a better product.
Outside of Vault, Terraform was their bread and butter. It’s understandable they would be scared of OpenTofu. Certain things that are novel have a tendency to leave the nest. This is one of those cases. They could go the Docker route, provide paid support and extra tooling around it, but decided to wage war against OSS instead.
