What makes you think that can't happen to something just because it's open source? And from all companies it's from Canonical.
It's "Selfhosted" not "SelfHostedOpenSourceFreeAsInFreedom/GNU". Not everyone has drank the entire open source punch bowl.
You better review your facts.
It was originally mostly made at Canonical however I was NOT ever suggesting you run LXC/LXD from Canonical's repos. The solution is available on Debian's repositories and besides LXD was forked into Incus by the people who originally made LXC/LXD while working at Canonical that now work full time on the Incus project / away from Canonical keeping the solution truly open.
Dude, I use Windows and a ton of proprietary software, I'm certainty not Richard Stallman. I simply used Proxmox for a VERY LONG time professionally and at home and migrated everything gradually to LXD/Incus and it performs a LOT better. Being truly open-source and not a potential CentOS/ESXi also helps.
