alt Hacker NewsI don't know much about this, but I understand Project Jupyter is Nonprofit. If I go to "jupyter.org" I see a tab "Community" and another "Governance". If I go to "deepnote.com" I see "Customers" and "Pricing".
Why would people want a standard to be controlled by a private company? I don't think the "Open-Sourcing" of it says enough. How does licensing work with formats or standards?

All standards are ultimately controlled by private companies. Even non-profits require funding.
Open source always depended on a viable business model (of one or many companies) that can sustain not just the release, but also an ongoing maintenance of the standard.

People don't want that. This article is largely empty marketing. Claiming they have "the successor" is all you need to read before you can infer it's hot air.
