My conclusion are based on the fact, that companies currently preferre gnome 
over kde, because they can develop for gnome for free, even if (personnal 
opinion) the kde/qt plateform (not speaking of ui here, strictly speaking 
from a developer view point) is better. Companies don't choose what is 
better, but what is more friendly to them. And having companies writting 
plugins (even closed one) for krita won't kill krita, it will bring free 
advertisement. And it is likely that open source and free plugins will 
prevail.

good example actually, ilm is behind openexr, and they released openexr as 
open source. So yes, we have every reason to be friendly toward companiers, 
they can give us good things in return ;)
And true, sony support developement of cinepaint even if it's under GPL.

But what I want is to avoid closing doors.
