Isn't Styra like a company of like 50-100 people? Seems like it'd be a bummer to be an employee at the company that gets left behind.

The shop (Styra) did get closed. A few of the most senior maintainers were hired by Apple. Many - including anyone not directly involved in engineering of the OSS product - are now looking for jobs.
Capitalism is ruthless.
A counter example would be Weaveworks(folks behind Flux/FluxCD and many other widely used oss tools). I'm sure the ex employees would've preferred to get acquihired vs closing up for good. I highly doubt Styra was pulling in enough money to fund their business, and the days of zirp are long gone, so I doubt they would've been able to raise another round to keep the lights on for another few years.
