It's the dumbest move they could make. No one, _no_ one, in a position as the decider on enterprise gear going for a NAS solution in their company is going to buy Synology. They aren't even #last on the list. Only corpos have the deep pockets required and historical "the way it is" mindset on being fleeced wrt vendor lockin BS. Synology just does not have the brand cage to pull that off. So corpos that already aren't buying their shit are still not going to buy it and homelabers/soho types are gonna go elsewhere because they've either ideologically opposed to being fleeced or just can't do it even if they don't know any better due to being priced out.

I hope they implode and some even more evil and incompetent predatory corp consumes them and guts what's left of their brand name. The only time I'd wish the Broadcom treatment on a company. Synology deserve it.
