But no company has eternal life. Sonos doesn't have it neither.
So, let's use our imagination and imagine that Sonos goes bankrupt (doesn't matter if it is likely or not).
Q: What will happen to our speakers?
I presume we won't see any software updates coming (assuming Sonos won't open source it). But what else will happen?
Background: reason I'm asking is that I strongly dislike the risk of being reliant on a company to have my speakers to work and I'm not sure whether this is the case with Sonos.
I don't want to buy a "Revolv smart home hub" when I could have bought a pair of speakers that could last decades, barring technical failures.
What's your take on whether Sonos speakers need Sonos-the-company to exist or not?

p.s. I realise that if the company disappears and new services emerge afterwards that they probably won't be supported either
