Yes. Absolutely 100%. Canonical has a pretty solid track record of acting like a corporation.
Can't speak for @StarkillerX42@lemmy.ml, but I was happy with Ubuntu when they first started - they took the best of open-source, put it in a nice package and then put money into improving it. It's just over the years they've drifted away from that and slowly have been replacing stuff with their own in-house stuff. At this point, they're sorta Microsoft light. Maybe harmless today, but only because they want to look better than the competition.
If that alone weren't sufficient reason to be skeptically pessimistic, enshitification is trending, all corporations seem to feel that now is the time to turn the screws. Can't blame a guy for expecting bad news generally in this environment.
