No, I could give you (at least) ten examples for every ten examples you give me, because abandoning products that don't make enough money (not neccessarily a loss, just less than the opportunity cost of not moving on to something else) is a matter of routine in business, especially in this area. Of course, if you are simply going to say that abandoning a project due to the profit motive is justified, then there is no point.
OwnCloud wasn't closed because of politics, it was closed because the banks were worried that they might not get their money back.
