I went to college a few miles from Mathworks's global headquarters.
They came to speak at my school and described open source alternatives (Python in particular) as the biggest threat to MATLAB.
I think if they open-sourced the MATLAB runtime and embraced a model similar to Canonical or Red Hat where users paid for support or integrations, they'd make more money. But it's hard to get there from where they are now.
