I am not going to make any sweeping generalizations across all products. But at least in the case of Deno KV, there doesn't seem to be lock-in. So if you were running something self-hosted for KV persistence, it will continue to work unmodified.

Again, not sure which bunch of startups. But I am not seeing that with this product. Seems more like a survival strategy to add some cashflow behind the developers.
I am curious what you think Open Source should be (or should not be). I think it's fair that running a service in the cloud should cost something. And self-hosting it, I think it's fair that it requires a bit more effort than using the hosted service.
Isn't that the reverse? It's against the sentiment that being a part of system means that you implicitly agree with it, and any complaints you make about it are void.
Seems like you can similarly respond to any complaint with that meme too, which is also invalid. In reality, there is a lot more nuance than can be described by pithiness.
You can simply not use it, no?
