I think you misinterpreted what they said. They meant "Their attitude changed towards open source because [Embrace, Extend, Extinguish] doesn't work"

That's exactly what I meant! Did I fail to write it clearly or is their reading comprehension no good?

I had to read it twice because I misinterpreted it the same way.

Their attitude changed towards open source because it doesn’t work!

That "it" could be interpreted either as 'open source' or 'EEE' from the previous sentence.

The sentence itself is a little ambiguous but it's nothing major, it's easy enough to get the message from context
