Its just business, parts of businesses get sold off all the time. BFD may have bought themselves out, and gone for inmusic as an investor, for example. We have no idea and its not automatically only inherently negative scenarios that may have played out.
The updates being broken for some people thing is from the migration to new servers etc being less than smooth. Im sure you know that. Again, I understand the frustration but development is clearly happening, bugs are being fixed, a community is offering solutions. With Roli we didnt have issues because we didnt appear have any development or a migration situation to new servers. Im sure you know all this tho, so we’re just going round in circles now 
And Roli no longer exist, so its completely hypothetical where we’d be now. Likely with no software at all.
Hopefully a new version will along soon to clear up this particular bug
EDIT: The other way to look at it is that BFD folks probably saw what was coming at Roli and got out just in time. Thats likely what went wrong. Hence the hasty shift to new servers that hasnt gone smoothly and seemed rushed. I dunno, I’m just coming up with more hypotheticals that dont matter. The point is, development is happening
