How would the product go forward?

By what definition is a company “thriving” that is losing money?

Confluent (Kafka)

The company reported a loss before certain costs such as stock compensation of 16 cents per share, with revenue coming to $139.4 million in the quarter, growing 58% from a year earlier. That resulted in a net loss of $117.6 million for the quarter.

The company behind AirFlow is AirBnB. Yes it’s “thriving”. But not based on AirFlow.

Or you know, this little company called astronomer https://www.astronomer.io ...

Isn’t that “just” a hosted version of Airflow? If it is, that’s a different value proposition/risk assessment. If Astronomer goes out of business, you just take your code and host it somewhere else.

Or is that exactly the point you are making?

We are open-source so yes, that is the point that I am making. We offer a hosted version of Windmill and plugins but the core will live-on forever.
