A lot of developers have really tight profit margins and/or their current projects heavily rely on what Unity provides. "Cutting their losses and move on" would mean bankruptcy. They might be able to switch to other engines in the future but right now leaving Unity behind is not a valid decision for them.

This leaves out the actual topic of the article, unfortunately.
We didn't try a social democracy with worker owned coops / democratized workplaces yet.
This kinda leaves out the most important parts.
Yeah, that sounds way better!
You are right, but to be fair. "Human Ressources" was an awful name to begin with.
Looks like the Scarlet Rot.
I think they meant YouTube would die in a year or less if it was seperated from google. But I am not quite sure.
okay, but what happens if those die out? Will there be more?
Most employers might be small business owners, but that doesn't mean at all that they provide the most jobs. One reason why small business owners have such a hard time generating a profit is that big companies undercut prices to destroy smaller local businesses. So we are kinda in the same boat here and shouldn't be at each others throat.
And I work as a software developer. You can't just suddenly leave the software behind your business is based on. For a lot of VR or WebGL related Companies there is no alternative to Unity. Also they are not broke right now and most likely won't be next year because of Unitys policy changes. Most devs won't be affected at all. Why just give up your hole business now because there might be problems in the future? Staying with Unity now gives us time to change the business model or find another technology.
