I'm not sure keeping hobbyists locked to a particular platform is that useful to Autodesk, especially considering the prices they charge for higher level software.

If it wasn't Autodesk doing this, would you have the same reaction? What about Makerbot's move away from open-source?

I would have exactly the same reaction - I don't have any issues specific to Autodesk, apart from those that I've expressed here related to their 123D suite.
