Is there any reason Lemmy isn't doomed to repeat Reddit's path?

Let's say Lemmy acquires the critical mass of users, continues to gain in popularity. Eventually someone will offer a large sum of money, the platform grows, new owners look towards an IPO, the goals shift, yadayada... How is different this time?

Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.

Holy shit I am laughing so hard.
