Also, there already is vendor lock-in - it's SEO. Good luck moving your wiki to another host and getting the same traffic and the same search engine results. Even if you don't appreciate Fandom Staff's support for other things, they still give people plenty of (free) server hosting space for your wikis and do their best to give them high traction (and wouldn't you like your work to reach the largest audience possible, even if you don't care for Fandom's profits)? The conspiracy theory that this is done to lock people into an ecosystem is stupid for this reason: Fandom were never worried about people leaving.
