Exactly. Redis (the company) had plenty of opportunity to monetize either a cloud offering or their enterprise offering. They have a lot of cool technology like vector search and time series extensions that people will readily pay for. They could have found a path of moving the core to a foundation and continuing to make money with their added value. They're choosing to get the value they can out of the open-source stack. It might work out well for them, but I can't believe it will be good in the long term for Redis users.
