I'm just providing information. I'm not looking for controversy.
What interests me is the survival of this forum.
There have already been acquisitions of stakes in Arduino.
The first one, by ARM, strongly resembled a purchase, but on the one hand, there was no proof, and on the other hand, Arduino remained an independent company.
Here, there's a 90% chance that the Arduino company itself would disappear.
That's fundamentally different, and we can certainly question the consequences.
There's no need to worry about the "so-called" Arduino functions; they are actually Wiring functions. 
Regardless of the microcontroller, digitalWrite exists, only the function code needs to be adapted to each microcontroller.
There are several IDEs; the one offered by Arduino is simple, but it's not the best.
Everyone should remember what happened when Oracle bought Sun and Oracle's attacks against open source.
