Isn't that guaranteed to keep the person employed and tree-sitter
development ongoing since their new product depends on it?

Besides, tree-sitter the technology has been *very* widely adopted.
Besides NeoVim integration, it is already used by Github for code
highlight and quite a few LSP servers also wrap it for parsing the file
for font lock etc.

It has become very much de-facto standard in its own niche and with such
a level of adoption, I would not worry about it being abandoned.
