We'll see on the % thing... you might be right about all of that stuff added up. And, people aren't always well-thought-out in how they pick their web-dev tools. :)

But, I'm not sure Automattic is trying to push people TO the .com, as much as they are trying to get people TIED to the .com.

(Again, if you haven't listened to the podcast... do!) But, basically, the .com has to make money. But, they might not have to do it directly. They might be able to do it indirectly via ad revenue or data (the way a lot of 'free' stuff works).
