Since it's not publicly owned it doesn't have to focus on quarterly profits.

If it gets sold to Microsoft they're probably going to start stripping it down to please investors and get rid banking on how most people will be too lazy to leave it. We've seen the same thing happen with reddit and twitter. I'm pretty sure enshittification is inevitable.
