Yes, those were basically my thoughts as well. But when it comes to the point where it's no longer making them any money, why not let the users have a go, whether it be a code refresh or plug-ins. IMO, it would be better to breathe new life into it (and possibly ignite new interest in Bryce) than just letting it languish. Unless they're just trying to force users into other, more expensive replacements.

Quote - DAZ essentially did release Bryce into the wild, as the program was free from DAZ for quite some time. But, release the code? Lol, nah, (I don't believe) that'll ever happen, DAZ paid decent enough money for Bryce from Corel. And, Bryce helps round out their free/cheap collection of software all of which (Especially Studio) helps sell their most profitable section, the meshes.

But, as I mentioned, my version of "releasing Bryce into the wild" would be having an SDK in which for users to create plugins. Any company would do that way before they would just post the program code. (I would think).
