Theoretically they can just flip a switch and double or triple the price of their paid products, and/or start charging a substantial portion of free users, and no longer lose money. We don't know all the details.

On one hand, you say we don’t know the details, yet at the same time you argue they can turn a profit whenever they want?

They don’t have proprietary hardware. They use the same servers available to everyone else. I did the calculations, and for them to turn a profit, their subscription price would have to be far higher than anyone would be willing to pay.
