Arduino is also an indispensable prototyping tool for embedded engineers.
To me this feels like when Oracle bought Sun Microsystems and proceed to effectively kill MySQL, VirtualBox, and OpenOffice, and also ruin the Java ecosystem.
Arduinos will probably end up getting locked to some microcontroller built by QCOM instead of being more of an open source hardware platform.
