Well it makes sense for F5.
Their main buisness, hardware loadbalancing is rapidly diminishing, so buying in NGINX seems like a sensible move.
After all, its much easier to sell support to people who are actually _using_ your product.

In 2014 we had two, then I moved company to where we had 6 loadbalancers, in the four years we were there we killed them off with a mix of AWS and k8s
At most recent place, I'd no even consider installing them.
