I tend to see that negatively. Community driven projects (or non profit organisation behind them) like Python, Postgres, Firefox always are more trustworthy and likely to last longer in general.
My favorite example: VSCode is a great piece of software, but almost half of it is actually only available in a proprietary build from Microsoft's website that contains telemetry.
Which half?
VSCodium works great, so I'd go as far to say 99% of VSCode is actually open source (the name and icons being exceptions). You cannot say proprietary extensions are half of VSCode.
Not necessarly your case, but surely for most complainers.
For example, if Microsoft wanted to change CPython to automatically collect sloppily anonymized user data and send it to Microsoft without asking, as they did with .NET[3], I would expect the steering council reject that proposal.

Playwright is Open Source - the worst thing that will happen if Microsoft will kill it - you’ll be able to use the latest release until you find some replacement.
GitHub was bought by Microsoft in 2018.
Recently Microsoft announced they were killing off GitHub Atom.
Being able to use the latest release of a dead project is no big reassurance.
This might be an anecdotal case, but it is indeed real world proof that a project being backed by a company the likes of Microsoft does increase the odds of being killed off.
