Well I can only judge from my own perspective. F.ex I want to use the Stripe module. But cannot do it because it miss 10 countries where Stripe is available. Stripe support say I cant use another country, it must be the country where business is registered. I am not a developer but I imagine that it is only about to add 10 countries in the countrylist. The alternative would be for me to buy the PS module. But does it work? Far from all PS 1.6 modules work with TB. I would hate to see TB go down, not only for the reason that we since 1.0 run a successful shop with almost 2000 products that I cant imagine how to move, but in general because there is no affordable alternative.
