The logical thinking is: are they going to make me dependent on some cloud service to develop for Arduino?

Don't know what Adafruit has a problem with, but the above is my problem.

They can't do that. Maybe they can launch new versions later where they lock it down, but then we will just use something else.

The logic to me is "how can they do that?". You don't need a cloud service to program a microcontroller and they can't force that upon you even if they'd want to since the arduino board is not an iPhone.
